On Friday, February 1st, I met with Angela Olson at Mia to determine my shadowing schedule with her and the museum art programs. We were able to solidify events I could be involved in including Creative Saturdays, “T for Teens”, and Free Open Studios. She thought this would be very effective in giving me a wide variety of ages and shadowing opportunities. I also filled out all the legal information, and Angela was kind enough to introduce me to many people within her program. I will be getting assigned a badge in the meantime, and Angela is working on creating a list of these events with exact dates and times so I can choose and attend upcoming events to complete my ten hours. I’m very excited to be a part of Mia. Angela says I have a lot of freedom when it comes to shadowing, meaning I can help out or just sit back and observe, whatever I prefer. She also took note to introduce me to Mia’s branding/design teams which I am really grateful for. I look forward to working with Angela, she is wonderful, and I can’t wait to integrate more into the museum teaching art scene.
