Dates to Remember for Art 1A (UPDATES)

Monday, January 25: Scholarly Research Training Workshop for Art 1A. Meet at the Instruction & Training Room 1575 Davidson Library. Details here. Please arrive on time.

Monday, February 1 Lecture: Semiotics (Art & Advertising). You need to submit the Chandler and Barthes reading summaries this week.

Wednesday, February 3 Lecture: Semiotics (Film)

Wednesday, February 10: Research Paper #1 Due (Note that you have been given an extra week to utilize what you learned in the Research Workshop). In addition to handing in a hard copy to your TA, you will need to upload a copy to the Plagiarism Scan here. The images that you include in your paper should not be uploaded to the Plagiarism Scan.

You will not be responsible for doing the writing summaries that would have been due that week. Instead, I want you to concentrate all of your attention on your research paper, but if you really want to do summaries for these two essays– then they will count as extra credit.

Saturday, February 20: Museum Field Trip. The Wednesday, February 17 lecture will be cancelled in lieu of this trip. However, be sure to attend your sections this week. Your reading summaries will be due in section. 

Please make sure that you give your TA your completed Liability Waiver Form. We will be handing these forms out to you beginning this week. 

If you want to get a ride to the museum in one of our two UCSB vans, then be sure to let your TA know, and submit your completed waiver as soon as possible.

Open up a Twitter account, if you don't already have one! You will be using Twitter on the museum trip. Here is the Art 1A Twitter Account, and here is the handle: @Art1AUCSB
