Art 1A Getty Field Trip & A Note About Weeks 8-10

I hope that all of you who went to the Getty enjoyed yourself! I had a wonderful time with all of you! A very special thank you to Dom Riolo and Jimmy Miracle who drove the UCSB vans from campus to the Getty and back again!
I thought that you would love to see that Jimmy Miracle and Emily Paulsen made extraordinarily impressive sketches of works of art that they saw at the Getty.
Overview of Weeks 8-10:
There will be no lecture on Wednesday, November 23, 2016 (since most of you weren't coming to school anyway). Instead, we will have these THREE makeup lectures (you are responsible to attend ONE of them:
