Hello! My name is Ivy. I am an extreme foodie and my dream is to travel all over the world to eat a lot of exotic cuisines. I am super excited for this internship because I get to be in a museum with so much pictures, colors, and textures. I LOVE IT. I love graphics and visual arts and my dream career is to be a graphic designer.
My name is Samya Brohmi and I'm a senior at Lowell High School. I'm a introverted, curious person who's fascinated with finding beauty in anything visual such as architecture and fashion. What I'd like to get out of this internship is a good work ethic and honing my observation skills to become both aware of the world of art and myself. I'm looking forward to this year and what the job will bring.
It's been a while since I've been to Mutiny in March for Women's History Month but I thought I'd take a moment to reflect. I did an earlier blog post about planning the program and now is my time to follow up on that. The night went really well with the interviews with both Ranu Mukherjee and Anil Natyaveda and Aparna Sindhoor from Navarasa. I'm glad that we planned out the show beforehand because all the transitions went really smoothly. The cool thing was that we all got to participate in all aspects of the show: interviewing, working the board, and helping communicate/set up with the artists. The interviews were pretty varied because all of us used both the planned-out questions as well as improvised questions.
I thought we all did a pretty good job of sticking to the subject of Women's History Month by asking the artists about their favorite female artists and talking about gender in art. Overall, I'm very pleased with how it all turned out.

I'm extremely excited about the upcoming Gorgeous exhibition, which features art by both the Asian Art Museum and the SFMOMA. As interns, we were given the task to come up with Family Fun Day art activities that would encompass aspects of the Gorgeous exhibit.
The activity I came up with is a Found Objects box. Each museum visitor could create their own box, which is supposed to visually represent who they are as a person. The outside could be how other people view a person, and the inside could be how they view themselves. People could decorate their art using different objects such as glitter glue, jewels, and old photographs. I'm hoping that by creating a Found Objects box, visitors are able to relate to different portraits in the exhibition. As Samuel Butler said: "Every man's work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always portrait of himself."

i remember getting the idea for my gorgeous project while listening to other people present their ideas. we were standing next to the korean wrapping cloths and i just started thinking
how cool would it be if that was a bag.
so i formulated the idea and presented it right then. i didn't know if it would work out, and i'm so happy that the idea has grown and is being included in the gorgeous art activities.
the gorgeous exhibition really interests me because i find the intersection between different types of art fascinating. also, a lot of the artists featured in the gorgeous collection are my personal favorites, such as mondrian. i'm excited to see modern art exhibited in the asian art museum because that's new for me as well.
Hello! It has been a while. So last thursday we had another mutiny radio show focusing on the theme of illustration and book publishing. We interviewed Shirin Bridges and Natasha Yim from Goosebottom books, a local children's book publishing firm. We also interviewed Julie Downing, a published author and illustrator. We asked them questions on what the process is like in book publishing and the world of children's books. As someone who has a lot of interest in perhaps someday writing and illustrating, it was an enlightening experience to meet and converse with such established artists.

Hello, all! It's nice to be back on the blog, writing a little reflection on the planning of the March Mutiny Radio show. Since March is Women's History Month, the theme for the program is women in the arts: their accomplishments, their obstacles, and their experiences. Our guests are artist/teacher/mother, Ranu Mukherjee, as well as dancers/choreographers from Navarasa Dance Theater, Aparna Sidhoor and Anil Natyaveda. To plan for the show, I've been emailing our interviewees to plan logistics, prepping questions, and selecting songs to play. Working on this project has definitely tested by organizational, communicational, and research skills. I'm excited to see the product of the work on Thursday night (you should all listen to the show) and hopefully it'll all turn out swell.

I spent a majority of my time upstairs on Sunday. It got really crowded during the day, which was really fun to see. The kids seemed like they were enjoying themselves while making their drums. They sure made a lot of noise!
opening on feb 21, the yoga art of transformation exhibit is coming to us at the AAM
basically, the exhibit plans to show how yoga has evolved over the centuries and how it has been perceived due to western media
one of the coolest art activities is the kinetic light painting, where we do yoga poses in a dark room with glowsticks with a long exposure camera.
this is a visual way to capture the beautiful form of yoga, while giving the public something to take home.
( i couldn't find the picture of the actual light painting we did so here are some funny stock photos of yoga)
