Hello Listserv colleagues.
I want to let you know about an upcoming workshop coming up THIS Tuesday
that will empower you to design your exhibits using a computer program. I'm
signed up for it because the software is free (basic version) and the
training is so reasonably priced. Don't miss this opportunity to learn
something so helpful in planning your next display! -- Jarrod Roll, Monroe

SketchUp is an easy to use platform to create 3D renderings. Using Sketchup,
museums can create professional looking, scaled renderings of exhibit
concepts and final designs for improved communication between exhibit team
members, administrators, boards, and potential donors. This hands-on
workshop will introduce SketchUp's drawing tools and techniques for 3D
rendering and demonstrate the software's presentation tools. Participants
should bring measurements and photographs of one of their own exhibit spaces
which they will turn into a SketchUp template.
Instructor:
Dan Bartlett is the Curator of Exhibits and Education at the Logan Museum of
Anthropology at Beloit College where he is also an instructor of museum
studies teaching classes in museum education and informal learning, and
exhibition design and development. In addition, Dan does freelance
interpretive planning, and exhibit development and design work in the
Wisconsin/Illinois state line area. Dan holds an MA in Public History and
Museum Studies from UW-Milwaukee.
