As part of this blog, I will also be including some posts regarding my Internship Seminar Class at Lesley University... Here is my first!
Please read Two Images of Relationship and write briefly about which position--ethic of justice, ethic of care, or both--is relevant to your work in the field of community arts so far or in your internship so far. Also, please update us on what has been happening in your internship. This entry is due on June 11th.
1. I feel like in general my personality and the way I view conflicts is more aligned with an "ethic of care" position. I tend to consider "how to handle a conflict so that everyone is happier," or "what are my responsibilities to and my place in the world?" So, I feel like I approach my work in the same way; illustration and art education allow for a lot of inter and intrapersonal exploration: a lot of communication and perspective based on experience. For example, visual art can be used as a way to express emotions, to persuade others' viewpoints, or to narrate a story; all of these methods of and purposes for making visual art/illustrating relate to the human experience. Visual art is sometimes just another extention of spoken or written language and dialogue, and so experiencing it often requires or encourages participants to consider their relationships with other people and where they fit into the world.
2. So far in my internship, I have been offered an unpaid T.A. position (6 weeks long, Mon-Fri, 9AM-4PM) at IS183: Art School of the Berkshires. Being a part of this program, I am also entitled to take 3 classes: Classroom Management, Studio Techniques, and and Installation class (FOR FREE!). I have been in contact with both my On-Site Supervisor and my Internship/Academic Supervisors at Lesley, and so my form #2 is complete with my internship goals outlined in decent detail. My On-Site Supervisor has approved my desire to design and carry out my own lesson plan(s) while on my internship (among my other goals), and so I am just waiting eagerly for my internship to start! I am also waiting for responses regarding my internship evaluation schedule, from both my On-Site and Internship Supervisors.
