Student to serve internship at Old Jail
By llonnip A. Lucas
1 he Old Jail Art Center will be
supervising the internship of a
Baylor University Museum
Studies student this summer who
will be assisting in all phases of
museum work at the local institu
tion.
Laura fiartels, 22, will he corn
pleting the final requirement of
her degree plan by serving as a
summer intern at the art renter.
Bartels. who is originally from
Lincoln, Nebraska, will graduate
in August from Baylor with a
degree in Museum Studies.
According to the intern, her
degree requires a broad range of
courses. "The major requires
courses in art history, an
thropology, computer science, ac
counting and journalism because
there is so much involved in
museum work.' she explained.
Bartels said that the internship
is the most important part of the
program because it is "practical
on the job training that puts to
use all the theory that you learn
in the classroom
The internship program also re
quires that Bartels teach a class
in art theory, as well as working
with the museum's staff. "I will be
teaching a class for the docents at
the Old Jail, although we haven't
worked out the schedule or all the
details yet
She stated that the course will
probably deal with the various
types of art. Learning how to go
into any museum and understand
all forms of art is important."
Bartels added that abstract art
seems to be the hardest for
Americans to understand and ap
preciate. "Most people expect to
be able to look at a work of art
and see a realistic subject that
they can understand Abstract
art really has no subject no
grand message it usually deals
with colors or balance in a way to
evoke an emotion.
The course will not deal with
just abstract art, however
realistic works will he explored is
well.
So far, Bartels has helped the
local art center catalog and write
descriptions of their extensive
Pre Columbian collection which
was recently donated
"I have been placing identifica
tion numbers on all the pieces,
writing a description and enter
ing them in the computer, ex
plained the energetic young in
tern. "I will also get to try my
hand at several other ad
ministrative duties during the
summer."
Bartels stated that being able
to serve her internship in a small
museum is a definite advantage
"Since this is a small museum I
won't be assigned one specific
chore to do all summer she said
"This is definitely better than a
large metropolitan museum
where I would have been stuck
away in one department
According to Bartels she looks
forward to becoming a 'part of
everything that is going on so I
can get a better picture of how an
entire museum is operated."
Betsy Koch, administrative
director of the museum, stated
that Bartels is already becoming a
part of the community.
"She is jumping right into com
munity activities including the
Findangle and singing in the
Methodist Church choir."
Koch went on to say that she is
pleased to have an intern for the
summer, not only to assist with
special projects, but to also share
information.
Some of the experience that
she brings from her college pro-
gram will certainly be helpful,"
said Mrs. Koch. 'We were really
pleased to be asked to supervise
an intern by Baylor. To have a ma
jor university ask us to place a
museum studies intern is a vote of
confidence for us."
Bartels stated that her first
visit to Albany and the Old Jail
Art Center was somewhat of a
surprise to her since it was "not
at all what I had expected."
1 vas really surprised when I
found out all of the styles of art
that the Old Jail had, and the
town is not a typical small town
like we have in Nebraska."
Bartels parents, Larry and
Ruth Ann Bartels, live in Lincoln,
where she graduated from high
school in 1983.
She plans to enter the St. Paul
School of Theology, a Methodist
Seminary, located in Kansas City,
Missouri in the fall. Meanwhile,
she looking forward to a summer
of fun arid learning in Albany.
