Farewell, Neverland… Hello, Senior Project Presentation (Come see it May 17th)!
Hello, Readers!
The last week of on-site work for my Senior Project was relatively uneventful, but it sure was emotional for me. I had a ton of fun, and I cannot believe it is over so soon. If I have time over the summer, I definitely want to try and volunteer there more.
I worked really hard to finish the section of the catalog that I had been in charge of, and I am proud to say I was able to complete the “Artifacts” category before I left. Although the archives could get more objects in that category at any time, I would have been unsatisfied if I did not at least catalog all the current items. Here is a picture of all the items together on the shelf!
Then, I watched my mentor while she digitized some photographic negatives. It was pretty cool to watch the machine scan the items and the photograph would show up in surprisingly good quality on the computer screen. However, we found that one of the negatives was cut in half! We had to figure out a way to put it together without putting any adhesives directly on it, so we settled with creating a frame out of buffered boards to sandwich the photo between. It was inspired by the outer cover of a slide.
Now, I think it is finally time to mention a very important part of my Senior Project: the final product. I have not talked about it in my blog posts because I had been struggling with deciding on what it would be. But, I finally came to a conclusion that both expresses my experiences at the Phoenix Art Museum and stays true to myself.
If you want to find out what it is, come see my presentation on May 17th! I hope everyone will be pleasantly surprised with what I came up with!
With that, I will now be concluding my final Senior Project blog post. Every other post started with the same energetic greeting so I believe it is now fitting to say…
Farewell, Readers!
