This week I spent more time working on the 3D Model – added more details, windows and the staircase. This is using Blender 3D. I am planning to close this out and submit this weekend. Still a bit unsure what the best viewing/printing software for a file created by Blender 3D is.

Also spent considerable time cleaning up photos I took during my internship and uploading them to the Museum server as instructed by my supervisor.

Lastly, my supervisor asked me to assist the Museum shop in taking some nice photographs of the shop. So I spent a few hours this week to document the Museum shop in photos. The Museum Store is a popular stop for unique gifts and artistic displays. This one-level gallery is bursting with fun and quirky gift ideas and is a must-visit shop in the middle of the city. Customers are happy with the attractive arrangement of items and the friendly and helpful sales staff. The choice is huge and there is something for everyone on your list. In fact, many people end up buying gifts for themselves too. The store is often compared to the best art stores such as MoMA’s in NYC, with its nice atmosphere. I was trying to capture this in my photos.

This week, I spent a lot of time on the new assignment that my supervisor gave me – creating a 3D model of the Museum’s gallery space. I received the blue prints of the Museum and started from there. This will be used to better plan future exhibitions, it will give the artists and curators an idea how much space is available to display pieces of art. My supervisor wants a version that can be easily saved as a PDF. I think I will point her to the many online 3D viewing software, such as Meshy.com. Of course, I will make sure it works with what I use, Blender 3D. Below is a preliminary photo of the model.

4/24 – I also attended the lecture about Biodiversity & Environmental Justice with Dr. Rajni Shankar- Brown and documented it with photos for the museum. Very interesting topic.

Finally, a few of the volunteer video interviews I helped with on March 26 are now starting to show up on facebook. I cannot take credit for the final product, but the video interviews themselves were taken by me.

Between final projects in the other classes and the internship, it was a busy week last week. My supervisor asked me to revise the parking map – remove the background and add more landmarks – so I did. Lesson learned: Don’t make too many assumptions even if the initial instructions are vague and always seek feedback to finalize the work. See below final version, clean and easily understandable:

April 10 – Documented the exhibition by the Artist Taylor Robenalt. Took photos of all her artwork on display. She is fantastic. I learned that she is a professor at Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota. I felt very good moving through the art gallery despite the lack of any information concerning modern art forms because there was nothing complicated about it. It is hard not to like the energy and uniqueness of her sculptures. There were a lot of animals and other components that made her exposition bright and alive. Everything in there looked like it had a soul and was somehow fairytale-like.
If to say what impressed me about the exposition, firstly I should point out its sincerity. I did not have any knowledge about sculptural art before visiting the exposition, however, it struck me and left an impression I could not get rid of.
My favorite piece is this one – for its dual purpose as a tea kettle:

April 14 – Planning meeting with my supervisor  – I received an interesting challenge to create a 3D model of the gallery so that future events can be planned better.

April 17 – Attended Art for All event, this time making art from metal wires and clay. Discover where art, community, and creativity come together with our Art for All event series. On select Fridays, enjoy free Museum admission all day plus a free guided art activity. Bring your family, invite your friends, or make it a date night. Art for All invites everyone to explore, create, and enjoy art together. Adult attendants used wire to create items like flowers, animals and other items. I documented the artwork in photos. There was some great artwork done in the 3 hours.

The last two weeks were pretty busy as I got more involved in the classes at the Museum and other assignments.
We met to define the parking map for the Museum. I took a few hours to put my first draft together in Adobe Illustrator. I wanted to make it ‘artsy’ and used the museum logo colors (black and burgundy) as a focal background. See below my draft, still has to be reviewed by my supervisor.

This week, I helped out in two classes. Setting up art supplies and documenting the classes with photos.

Classroom – Lisa Carlson Abstract Gel Print Class Tue 4/7/2026 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Classroom – Creativity and Well Being Workshop Sat 4/11/2026 12:30 PM – 3:00 PM

I also attended the Artist demo workshop at Stetson in cooperation with the Museum of Art. Taylor Robenalt has her own exhibition at the Museum of Art.
The last event was called Art of Surprise Fri 4/10/2026 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and mostly showed Taylor Robenalt’s work, which I documented in photographs.

Next week will be more classwork support again – Gel Printing and Storytime

Thursday March 12 – Documented a visit by a school group from Maitland – visit lasted several hours

Monday March 16 – Spent several hours to redesign a tri-fold flyer for the museum. The flyer was laid out in Canva, unfortunately, that program does not export to Photoshop so I had to recreate some of the design elements manually.

This week March 26 – looking forward to documenting interviews both video and sound. Also, March 27 first meeting to create a new parking guide for the museum.

Submitted my class schedule to the internship advisor.
Leaving for a Study Abroad trip to Greece tomorrow for a week with the International Business class but when I come back, this internship will become fast and furious!
