Otherwise known as my first writing project for the Whitney Museum Summer Internship Program in the Education Department, Online Education.

Yes, it's that time of year again. I have embarked on my latest summer internship, this time in New York City at the Whitney Museum. I am an intern in the Education Dept. and working primarily for the online education section. My supervisor is fantastic and the other five interns (the educrew, as I am thinking of calling us) are smart, sharp, enthusiastic undergrads. So far, so good.

The best part of this internship is that I will have the opportunity to produce scholarship that will be accessible online at the Whitney Learning Website. Having never published anything online (present blog excluded), this is a really exciting opportunity for me. I spend the days doing research and coming up with brilliant explanations to help educate students, teachers, and the general public about art! More about this piece later...
