The guide involved intralingual translation and adaptation, seeking to make the language of a complex artwork accessible and relatable to the targeted audience.  It was a para-professional project in the sense that Sara and Marta worked with the MAG as their &#8220;client.&#8221; To carry out the project, they maintained a high level of communication with Andrew Cappetta, Assistant Curator of Academic Programs as well as Marlene Hamann-Whitmore, McPherson Director of Academic Programs at MAG. They learned to revise their guide several times, both textually and visually, based on the feedback on the drafts and information such as the visitor population and the objective of the family event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the day of the special event, Sara and Marta got to distribute the guides to the visitors, mingling with the children and their families and witnessing how the guide worked in the real world.
