Lilia Theobald is one of the students from the Art History Capstone course from this past fall which was responsible for the curation of the current exhibit: Desire, Conflict & Exchange Art of 19th Century East Asia & the West<\/em>. Theobald is a Miami University Dec.2019 graduate from Marshfield, Missouri. She received a Bachelor of Art in Art and Architecture History. While at Miami, Theobald was an active member of the Myaamia Center community and Cobblestone Community Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the semester long capstone course, all students worked collaboratively to select an overall theme, sub-themes, and a wide variety of pieces to be featured. Later on, each student chose an individual piece to highlight and explore more in-depth, researching its history and background and then compiling that information in a catalogue entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theobald researched the woodblock print titled 10 Views of Mt. Fuji from Edo. <\/em>She was initially drawn to this work because of the figure\u2019s ornate robes, the use of color, and the disproportion of the woman to her setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theobald enjoyed the Capstone course and learned many different professional skills. She states \u201cduring the Capstone course I learned that the details of history are not always so inaccessible as one might think. Colleges, museums, and online databases have so much to offer if you have the curiosity and the willingness to dig around.\u201d Theobald appreciated the practice in collaboration that the Capstone course gave her and discovered how fun research can be.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many of her peers, Theobald\u2019s favorite memory from the Capstone course was the class trip to Boston. She had a particularly special moment at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum when an opera singer serenaded guests as part of a work of participatory art. While in Boston, Theobald recalls feeling like time was melding together as the class studied 19th century East Asian art in old-Boston.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked who she would recommend the Capstone course to, Theobald states \u201cin times like these when innovation and self-discovery are our core pursuits, it is very rewarding to pull back and look at how things were, who people were, and how what is came to be. Absolutely any student looking for a broader perspective on life, on reality, could benefit from this course.\u201d
