Well, gang, it looks like this will be my last blog post for the Portland Art Museum internship. I’m still going to be working there as a volunteer there until all the print materials are nice and wrapped up, but as for my schooling, this is it. It’s been a great run, and I thankContinue reading “ArH PAM Internship Week 10: Postmodern Art and some final thoughts.”

ArH Internship Week 9: A Brief History on Printing
Bleh. So, I wrote two blog posts yesterday, yet still it took me this long to get this blog post done for my school. I don’t why this is happening, it’s really dumb. I should just get all my school projects done at the beginning of the week before doing other projects like the Van GoghContinue reading “ArH Internship Week 9: A Brief History on Printing”
ArH Internship Weeks 8: OSU Prints and Sad Poetry
So, just a disclaimer, I did in fact GO to my internship my last week and had every intention of doing the blog post. I had a paper in History of Photography that I needed to do and work was exhausting, so I spent the free time I did have working on the Lent ProjectContinue reading “ArH Internship Weeks 8: OSU Prints and Sad Poetry”
ArH Internship Week 6: No Internship Today. Van Gogh instead.
Well, my friendlies, I just realized it’s Friday and I have not posted anything related to my internship this week. That’s because I had no internship this week.

I Need Your Help
We did it, guys! Also, oops! Realized I hadn’t made a blog post in five days. How dare I? Okay. So. Here’s what happened: I came into my internship the other day just happy as a clam. I took off my coat, grateful that I wasn’t taking off 80 layers like I did lastContinue reading “I Need Your Help”
ArH Internship: David Grant Best
Last week I learned how to make a box. However, making somewhat bulky boxes can be very cost-ineffective to the cardboard, and when you have large print pieces such as Portrait of a Racetrack by David Grant Best, which is a very heavy, large, dense portfolio. A cardboard box would not be a very effectiveContinue reading “ArH Internship: David Grant Best”
