I found this
experience very interesting and enjoyable, as I was able to not only just see what
a day is like for a visual arts technician at mac but connect with the public
and artists. i noticed that the technicians formed a positive relationships
with some of the public as they offer good support though their creations and
experience. i was able to see loads of different styles of work from all different
types of people, and I was a pleases to get the chance to be a support.
Even though that
element of the experience was really interesting, I found the general tasks of
a technician very repetitive and could
become boring if done more than a couple of days, this is why the staff at the
mac work shifts. After completing this work placement I was not as inspired as
what I thought I would have been. But I am very pleased
with the experience and what I have learnt, like how to complete the different tasks
of a visual technician and how to use different equipment e.g. kiln, and knowing
when it’s done correctly.
