In the later half of my week working with The Taubman, I was placed in charge of two additional projects. The first of which involves the creation of a children’s activity surrounding the George Washington/Yorktown exhibit that I have been working on. This involved me combing through the museum’s prior activities to find the framework surrounding these writing and drawling activities I could work in for the exhibit.
The other part of my duties this week, alongside my main work of developing the Washington exhibit was to sift through the museum’s extensive collection of artwork and write descriptions for them (pictured below). The reasoning behind this was to assist the museum’s database in becoming more refined and accessible to those searching online. Adding these descriptions also was to help make the artwork more ADA compliant, so that those who may have a difficulty observing the artwork may have a better overall experience.
