First Meeting with Simona Zappas, the Walker’s Youth and Community Programs Associate, for My Practicum Under the Walker Arts Center Teens Art Council!! We got down a rough schedule for me as well as some fantastic resources. My first observation date is set for the 27th of January, Excited to meet the council. :)

She shared three fantastic articles with me on Visual Thinking Strategies. These seem really important for facilitating gallery conversations. Spaces like the museum have so much opportunity to educate and spread awareness in ones community. To confront issues. It’s exciting to see.
