Hello all. It's been awhile since I've done this whole blog thing (or at least it feels like a while) so I'm sorry if I miss anything in my reflection on last Sunday and Thursday.
On Thursday night, we met at the museum early to talk about the radio show and to prepare over pizza and tea. We had a quick look through of the questions we had written and some feedback on those. It was a bit nerve-wracking knowing that we would be doing one-on-one interviews with Leonidas. However, I shouldn't have been worried: everyone did a lovely job and the entire hour went pretty smoothly. My favorite part of the show was when Marisa called Leonidas old. Marisa, thank you for making me laugh for a solid five minutes. Also, yay for Nell using the sound board. And Cami, you were great even though you weren't feeling so good. I honestly am just really proud of us because I think we're getting used to this whole radio thing.
Jumping forward, on Sunday we did a role-playing art meditation, we checked out the Chinese Tang Dynasty gallery, we tried out Karen's horse mobile project, and we met with Leonidas to discuss our future participation in the Balkan Vulcan Show. I actually really enjoyed the art meditation just because it was totally different from what I usually do for my reflections. I had the point of view of the curator and my prompt was: Write a letter to a museum requesting an object for exhibition. Here's the letter I wrote:
After, we made some pretty rad pipe cleaner horses and talked to Leonidas about possible future interviews. I'm excited that we'll have the chance to meet some other artists and interview them.
I hope everyone had good Thanksgivings.
