Final Project Opportunity

Esteemed Students: The library is looking for someone to help them with the following research project. If you are interested and if you seem like a good fit I would be willing to make it count as your final project. The only complication is that the library needs this fairly quickly--the label description by February 27. The rest could wait until the end of the quarter. Below is the library description of the project. And you get two free tickets to the library Octoberfest, which is more fun than it sounds:

Description of project:

Three bronze sculptures were donated to the library quite a few years ago and have never been displayed. The library plans to display the pieces, and develop a short guide to the artwork in and around JFK. The newly displayed pieces need signage (label copy).  The library would also like to have descriptions of all of the art work around the building developed into an information guide.

Tasks:

The student will use the University Archives to research the artworks, (there is the bird sculpture, the open book on the front of the building, and the fountain in addition). I have a file of information on the bronzes.

Deliverables are:

1)     label copy for the bronzes;
2)     a more detailed description of the bronzes and the other artwork in and around the building;
3)     creation of a one sheet guide to the artwork at JFK.

 

The library will provide a free ticket to next year’s Oktoberfest fund raiser and acknowledge the student’s work at the event.
