My experience at IU Bloomington is coming to a close. This semester I should graduate with my Master's degree in Visual Art Education. I still have three courses and 10 weeks of student teaching left to gain my state K-12 license, but at least I will have my degree and may be able to find part time or adjunct work while I complete the rest of my study.
In lieu of completing a thesis for graduation, I have opted (with the permission of my advisor) to do community service practicum. I'm thrilled to have this opportunity as it will finally allow me to complete the volunteer work I do for the Howard County Historical Society (HCHS) and the Kokomo Art Association (KAA) for school credit.
I have developed an ambitious schedule that will involve learning what I can about small museum operations, exhibits planning and design, collections management, activities and events planning, and grant research and application. I will also be assisting with KAA's outreach art classes taught at the Carver Community Center and with the organization and completion of KAA community murals.
It's going to be a big semester and I plan to share highlights here! If interested in attending the Carver class, visiting or volunteering at either institution, or otherwise supporting HCHS or KAA, please comment and will help you get connected!
