The most exciting thing that happened this week was an attempted copier scam. Someone supposedly from the museum's copier supplier called and asked for the serial number of the museum's copy machine. For all of you thinking of going into office jobs, never do this! Always verify the company and know why they need the number. If not, you could be scammed for a lot of money. Fortunately, the scam was recognized for what it was. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
As far as my project goes, I called every museum on my list. However, out of the five people I wanted to talk to, four were on vacation and one was sick. I will try again next week.
There is a space in the museum called the idea box that serves both as a gallery or a craft space. The exhibit currently inhabiting the space will be up until the end of the month, so I spent this week trying to come up with a craft to take its place. Usually, crafts are related to the exhibit at the museum. One of the artists featured in the current exhibit is A. G. Rizzoli. Throughout his life, Rizzoli drew portraits of people as buildings in his imagined utopian society Y.T.T.E. (Yield to Total Elation).Here is an example of his work:
I think his stuff is amazing, so I decided to develop a craft around his artwork. I decided to print out templates of paper houses that people can decorate to resemble themselves or someone else. Ama sent me a list of house templates, and I am currently in the process of trying to find one that is nice-looking by easy to put together. If you have some spare time, I would highly recommend spending a few hours with some scissors and glue making a paper house. It's very relaxing.
On the college front, I have been accepted to both Colorado College and Mount Holyoke. I was also awarded a Mt. Holyoke Leadership Award.
