Los Angeles County Museum of Art– Carlos Madrid Week 2

Los Angeles County Museum of Art– Carlos Madrid Week 2


I'm back! Better Late than never! Towards the beginning of the week I had a lot of insightful conversations regarding how our identities deeply influence how we interact with art and art museums. 

Additionally I was able to more thoroughly explore LACMA and see numerous galleries and artwork. I was about to grasp lessons from artists such as Pablo, Picasso, Diego Rivera, Wangechi Mutu, and many more! Attached below is the infamous Flower Day by Diego Rivera. I like this piece not only because of the innate design but also because of the beautiful frame which compliments it, something which is often overlooked within art history!

One of my favorite things about the LACMA education department is all of the furry friends I've been able to meet while working! Additionally throughout the week I continued to prepare materials for both docents and students for the upcoming year!

Throughout my internship I've learned the close relationship with museums and libraries have, especially for museum curators! I was able to explore LACMA's Balch Art Research Library which has some books dating back before the 1920's!! My favorite part of the library was the alphabetical Archives of artists infographics, events ETC.

STORYTIME

Despite having such a fun week my favorite part of the week was my Paletero Man story time where I was able to reconnect with my fellow young Ambassadors from DC, and meet some of the sweetest Almuns!


 FIST BUMPS OF POSITIVITY!



This was my favorite storytime participant Zeus! Zeus was very engaged and invested in the story of Paletero Man. Whenever he had a question he would kindly raise his hand and wait for his question to be answered ensuring that he would never interrupt any of the speakers!

Arte Américas - ❀ Isabelle O'Neill ❀, Week 4

  ☙❂✵Week 4✵❂❧ ❦    Hi guys! Wow, it's my final week of my internship, and I am not ready for it to end. I'm still working with marketing and development, as well as some more projects with Excel. I've helped many people renew their memberships and been in contact with some pretty important donors, like the former mayor of Fresno and other important business people in the Central Valley. Hi Sudan! ❦    On Tuesday, my boss decided to take me on a little field trip over to a marketing agency building down the street. The building was historic, and actually used to be a theater. I learned a lot about the various roles within a marketing agency, ranging from web developers to an audio engineer. I don't have many pictures of the building since people were working and it was a bit of a short tour, but I did get this picture of a rhino statue. I got to learn more about the businesses in downtown Fresno, and it really opened my eyes to a place that I had assumed I knew ...
