It's been rather frightening how much I see themes of school reflected in my internship. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) staff, or at least those in the Education department, are focused on reflection just as much as the staff of High Tech High Chula Vista (HTHCV) are.
When working on making ThoughtLAB (the La Jolla location has a room called the ThoughtLAB that overlooks the sculpture garden) cards I found that many cards for past exhibitions were very similar to prompts I might receive for a Socratic seminar. And mine ended up being the same way. I think that a lot of the work I've done at school has given me a base for the work that I'm doing at my internship.
Looking back at the MCASD's mission, it's not surprising that they do so much reflecting. During my first week of internship I've learned that the Museum is very much focused on engaging audiences of all ages by encouraging them to bring their own experiences when thinking about a piece of art. The Museum is also enthusiastic about creating an appreciation for art in younger people, hence free admission for everyone 25 and under. I admire the Museum's mission, and am glad that I've been able to help out. Although getting there has been a little challenging.
I work at both of the Museum's locations (La Jolla and Downtown), although I am mostly downtown in their Jacobs Building. Commuting to this location has been fairly easy because my father lives in Hillcrest and he drives me on those days. When I'm in La Jolla I drive myself, however, and traffic is never fun. Neither is parking.
Nothing too interesting has happened at my internship. My friend Aine commutes to her internship my train and trolley, and she waits for and hour at the train station adjacent to the Downtown Museum. My other friend Ceiley has her internship at the Natural History Museum in Balboa, walking distance from my house, so I've been spending time with them before and after work. It's nice to be able to chat with them.
