MEETING AT LACMA:
We will meet at LACMA at the Wilshire Blvd. entrance next to the ticket office and Chris Burden's Urban Light sculpture (shown above) at 11:30AM on Saturday, July 20. LACMA will be providing us with free admission to the museum.
5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036
Phone: (323) 857-6010
Parking costs $16.00 per vehicle, and it is not part of our free admission. If you are getting a ride in the University owned van (driven by your teaching assistant), you will be responsible to split the cost of parking (it will be a little over $1.00 for each of you, but the driver will not incur any of the costs since they are driving you for free). The cost of the UCSB vans and gasoline are being provided by the Department of Art.
Here are a few things to consider about our LACMA field trip:
1) First, remember that this field trip is an all day event, and it replaces the Tuesday/Thursday lectures (July 16 & 18). You will, however, be attending your section that week (on July 17). Failing to go to LACMA, or the alternative museum trip to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the MCA, will result in two absences being recorded (Art 1A).
2) You must fill out the University of California, Santa Barbara Waiver of Liability, Assumption of the Risk & Indemnity Agreement if you are going on the LACMA field trip, even if you are staying in Los Angeles that weekend. If you haven't, then submit it to your TA ASAP. This is mandatory UCSB policy.
3) Be sure that your TA has your phone number and email, and that you have her email. If you arrive late, you want to be able to find us at the museum.
4) I would suggest eating a big breakfast since we won't be taking a break for lunch until later in the day. Furthermore, pack snacks for the road, and for lunch, unless you want to treat yourself to food at the museum. There are also food trucks that park across from the museum on Wilshire Blvd.
5) If you are driving from Santa Barbara, be sure to give yourself at least two hours to drive to LACMA.You never know what kind of traffic that you will encounter.
6) Wear comfortable shoes and clothing! We will be doing a lot of walking and hiking up stairs, so you want to be very comfortable.
7) Charge your phone since you will want to take a lot of pictures at the museum.
8) If you do not already have a Twitter account, then please start one for Art 1A since you will be taking pictures and Tweeting responses. Please use the Art 1A and LACMA handles: @Art1AUCSB and @LACMA
