The Project

I finally found out what I will be doing for the project. Our last class I was really interested in what everyone had to do for the class. It sounds like we'll all be very very busy. As for me, I'm helping with the art exhibition/competition for the hospital. Helping to find artists, accept their work, help categorize and hand the work, and help to find guest juror(s). I have some ideas so I'm just going to start from scratch.

On another note I think most of us were caught off guard as far as what we expected to do for our assignments. I think most of us are happy with our assignment. So we will see how everything works out.

Perspectives

I will receive my official duties tomorrow. But last week we played an interesting game that dealt with automatic assumptions and prejudices. We were to rate on a 1 to 10 scale which types of people we would like to trade lives with for one year. There were three rounds and each round we were given one fact about the ten people. At the end of the game. I felt the game was a very entertaining way to learn about personal prejudices and vales. I would love to play that game in other situations to see how people would react to their selections.

First Day

I met with my contact today. Other than me getting amazingly lost getting around DMC campus, I got very excited seeing the place and what I will be doing. When I got there I found out that the partner's needs were a little bit different than what I expected. However, I do have knowledge in working with exhibitions as well as working with hands on activities. We still need to finalized a schedule, but I was very happy with what I saw today. Not happy with getting lost and looking stupid.
