San Antonio Museum of Art: Week 02


   Through my second week at the San Antonio Museum of Art my assignments were to assist with the museums program for toddlers called Play dates. Another assignment that I have worked on throughout the week has been editing and revising some of the museums scavenger hunt activity sheets. Working with older children this week has taught me how the museum tries to incorporate different types of educational programming for different demographics of the community. This has shown me how the museum cares about growing their audience and continues to innovate their programming activities. Through assisting with these different educational programming activities I have learned what type of activities engage babies and toddlers. Babies are more responsive to smells and noises, whereas toddlers are more active so they can do craft activities or listen to stories and be engaged. From assisting with these programs that the museum has monthly has increased my knowledge of how children learn and how to get them engaged in activities, this will help me next week when I will be one of the YAP ambassadors that will be hosting the community outreach activity at a local library in San Antonio. This week has caused me to face different situations such as new situations I encountered on the Washington week, such as completely editing and revising worksheets has taken hours, to the diction being used and the format, everything had to be updated and this has taken up most of my time this week. I am excited to be one of the hosts leading the community leadership activity at the library, these past two weeks has given me child educational programming experience which will help me immensely next week.

MI FAMILIA

MI FAMILIA. As Sunday reaches its end, there's no longer workshops, reception tasks, tours, or any of the sort left. It surreal to not wake up with the sole purpose of going to the museum, a feeling I am going to miss. These last four weeks have opened my eyes to what surrounds me, taught me to seek more, to discover new assets in me, and has shown me to never conform to what I know; there's always room to grow. The team of MHAA has become my family and I can proudly say they are a part of the YAP family, which means that MHAA is part of of us, a part of you. I hope throughout the blogs, it has become clear how wonderful of a discovery this experience truly is, and it ended as great as it could ever be. During the week I researched Egyptian culture, gave tours to visitors, took the measures necessary to protect a painting (and I carried a giant bubble wrap through campus), and was in charge of handling and fixing the subtitles on an hour seminar, which would make the vid...

Successful Women in History- Final week in Atlanta

     The week has come to an end and so has the intership. This whole 5 weeks in Washington DC and Atlanta, Georgia has been quite a unique experience. It’s very dear and special to me. I can say I have been beyond blessed to meet all of the wonderful people and kids I have worked with during this past weeks. I’m glad my summer was like no other summer I lived. This one was very informative as well as educational.      This week was all about immigrants across the world to the United States. The kids and I learned that immigrants do not only come from Latin countries but also from the Middle East, Europe, Asia, etc. We read about many success stories of immigrant and undocumented families. For the kids to get a better understanding about immigration Mr. Andrew, the teacher, related it with the kids favorite foods! Such as hot dogs, pizza, french fries, donuts, tacos. These food had originated from Great Britain, Mexico, France, and United States. The kids...

Last Week at the Museum of Latin American Art

Last Week at the Museum of Latin American Art The last week at MOLAA was definitely a memorable culmination of the past three weeks of summer art camp. From the deinstallation of all the galleries at the museum, to the party for all summer art camp volunteers, and the installation of the art gallery "Undocumented Stories", this last week was was to remember. The first days were spent deinstalling all the galleries at the museum. This was a rather tedious job since I was given the task of removing the vinyl lettering placed on the walls of the exhibitions which provided background information on the artwork and pieces. This showed me the much thought that is put into the creation of exhibits and the message that is portrayed to the audience.  Additionally, I was also given the task of coordinating and creating a celebration party for the summer art camp volunteers who generously volunteered their time for three weeks. The party was Havanna themed which left me and...
