Reasons For Museum Hopping

Over the spring break, I chose to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my friends Irene and Mei. We explored many exhibits such as The Egyptian Art, The American Wing, and Asian Art. I saw statues, ceramics, textiles, pottery, and paintings. I really enjoyed looking at the Sphinx and sarcophagus in the Egyptian Art section. The interior design of the museum was so well planned out in each exhibit from the lighting of the room to the smell. The interior design of the museum was so exquisite especially the atmosphere it created. I felt like I could explore the corners of the world in one building.

I am majoring in graphic design for my associate’s degree. Currently after this semester, I need twenty more credits until I complete my associate’s degree. Once I receive my associates degree, I am looking to transfer to a four year university to major in visual design to become a fashion stylist; during that time, I am hoping to be a part of an internship, studying abroad to learn more skills. Furthermore, once I have achieved in my education, I know I will be successful in pursuing my dream job.

Growing up I was always fascinated by history. I like to imagine my love of history was passed on to me by my grandmother who was both a history major and a history teacher; however, I was never able to genuinely connect with her since she had already passed years before I was born. No matter the case, I reciprocated her passion. I decided that I wanted to pursue a career that involved a more hands on approach appertaining to history aside from teaching. Therefore, I concluded I wanted to ultimately work in a museum. An opportunity to shadow a museum director, a position I hope to be in one day, truly exposed me to that specific environment and sealed my determination like never before in regards to my future.

I spent time at three different museums for my service hours, the Bangor Discovery Museum, the College of the Atlantic Dorr Museum and the Woodlawn Gardens Museum. At each I went to a different event and each had their the similarities and differences to each other. I facilitated an event at both the College of the Atlantic Dorr Museum and the Bangor Discovery Museum, which is why I believe there are the most similarities between these two, they were completely different activities, but with the same goal: kids have fun and learn.

From my college experience, I hope to receive the best quality of education offered in my major of study along with honing my interpersonal skills. I am aiming into entering into an art-related

My primary goal as a student is to pursue an MFA and become a working artist. I only recognized this goal a few years ago but I have been dedicating every moment towards successfully achieving it. I have participated in almost all forms of the Fine Arts including violin and theater but I have found that I thrive most in a community of visual artists. During my junior year I was nominated and accepted to attend The Governor’s School for the Arts where I formed connections with professional artists and improved my own work by applying new techniques they taught me. There I also developed a passion for sculpture and printmaking. I know that VCU is ranked first in the country as a public university art school leading me to successfully graduate

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was my choice for the museum visits. Getting to the museum was an adventure in itself. My friends and I had taken the subway and had gotten off a stop early. We had walked around Central Park before we finally saw the museum. The front steps were packed with many different groups of people. There were students on trips, tourists, and local residents. It was a magnificent sight to look at. Walking into the museum felt like walking into another world.

I chose these two museums because I wanted to step out my tree and try going out doing some different else were instead of something around my neighborhood. Pulling up to their area at first was very weird because this was not an environment I was used to being

How did you hear about the Children’s Museum of the Arts and our internship program? Why did you choose to apply to this internship program?

Hello, I am Alejandro Moncada and I’m currently a college student at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), majoring in Graphic Design with two minors in Illustration and Motion Media Design. My expected graduation date is 2018, and I am both excited and daunted about what the future may have in stock for me.

I’m interested in being an arts counselor because I enjoy doing art in my free time. I had done this last summer and really enjoyed it. I found it so much fun to help the children get in touch with their creative sides. I really enjoy watercolor, drawing and i dabble with animation. I have previously taken classes at the art center such as a watercolor, acting, sewing, and comic book designing classes. I take art at school where we had done a variety of different projects such as drawing and shading an inanimate object. Recently I have taken an animation workshop at North Carolina State.

Art museums in the United States have been credited with reasonable growth and advances toward organizational practices, research shows that gender equality, ethnic and racial profiles of the staff remain less diverse than it could be presumed (Dudley, 2013). The initial study of art museum diversity of the United States art sector indicated that 60 percent of the total museum workers had been positioned as curators, educators and conservationists. White women mainly occupied these positions.

At first, I didn’t want to go to the museum. That day, I was exhausted after finishing school, so going all the way to San Francisco wasn’t exactly my idea of relaxing. Thankfully, my mom insisted we go that day, since it was my dad’s day off. I felt frustrated that we had to go right then, but my mom forced us.
