Rachel Marshall

I'm Rachel. I am a senior at UMass and am taking 6 classes this semester. If you're already thinking I'm crazy, it's because you're right :) I also took 6 classes this summer (during an accelerated term!) and not only survived but also maintained my 3.9 GPA.... while working full-time AND in my 1st trimester of pregnancy. That being said, I needed a few electives, which is what brought me here. I love art & music (especially Taylor Swift!). 

I have worked in education for the past 5 academic years. I have taught electives and currently work in our Special Education department. Once I finish with my BA in English, I will be getting my Alternative Resident Teaching License and hope to begin teaching 2nd grade next August when my district opens its elementary school and hires 12 new teachers.

Wish me luck as a tackle a huge agenda this semester along with working full-time and creating a tiny human! Positive mindset here! 

Rachel Marshall's collections

 

Influential Architecture: A Comparison of Past & Present

<p>This collection is meant to introduce the viewer to world architecture of the past &amp; present day using Rebold &amp; DiYanni's text, <em>Arts and Culture, An Introduction to the Humanities (2012).</em><br /></p> <p>One of my hobbies is traveling, and when I do travel, one aspect that I pay attention to is the architecture of the place I'm in. As I was studying architecture for this class, I realized that buildings even in my home state of Ohio had beautiful Roman influences, although they were built two millennia later. <br /></p> <p>This project will focus on world architecture, its history and innovations, as well as comparisons to the influences we see on buildings going up all around our world today. It should be noted that the artistic comparisons in this collection are of my own observation alone and any influence the modern architects may have had may have been intentional or simply coincidental.<br /></p> <p>I hope you enjoy this collection.</p> <p>Resource: <em>Arts and Culture, An Introduction to the Humanities</em> by Janetta Rebold Benton &amp; Robert DiYanni. </p> <p> #AHMCFALL2019</p> <p><br /></p>
