Final Fall Update

Hey Everyone, 

I am happy to report that now that the thesis proposal has been submitted, the fun work can begin! I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the preliminary writing and peer editing this semester, but I am very excited to start interviewing and putting together designs and ideas for my exhibition! 

The next steps that I am preparing for are scheduling interviews with various museum education professionals, as well as choosing which RIT public art pieces I would like to focus on. The next couple of weeks will consist of writing my to-do list and organizing all of my thoughts and ideas.

Excited to have a break from classes, but also excited to see all our ideas come to life!

Here is a sneak peek of one of my favorite RIT public art pieces at the moment, entitled " Growth and Youth" by Josef Albers. 

See you guys later,

Alice's Week 12 Update!

Hello all!

I cannot believe it is already Week 12. This semester has been a whirlwind of assignments and exams, making me really glad it is almost Thanksgiving Break! 

Overall, I would say that in the last few weeks, I have become increasingly excited about my topic and its potential for execution. I have decided to shrink my scope to include only art museums and have chosen the Rochester Institute of Technology Public Art as my medium. I am excited to engage with professionals through interviews to gain their insight into how to create for children and read the new sources that I have about education through art.

With the final due date for our Thesis Proposal approaching, I am hoping to gain more peer review from people outside of our thesis class to gain the perspective of someone who is not in the museum's sphere. I think this will allow me to see what points of my paper are not technically explained well and make appropriate edits. 

In the end, I am very excited to continue my research and start working on the project!

See you next time 👋...
