This quarter we have two spectacular field trips planned. Our first field trip is to the Getty Center on Saturday, July 8 and the second field trip is to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, July 22. There are simply too many important exhibitions between these two museums that are relevant to Art 1A, therefore we will have two field trips. These field trips are all day events, and they are in lieu of the lectures that week. Sections are scheduled as planned. These field trips are a mandatory part of Art 130 (since the class meetings take place at the museums), and therefore you should only take the class this session if you are able to attend.
A FEW TIPS TO PREPARE FOR OUR FIELD TRIPS:
1) Be sure that you have our emails with you! If you arrive late, you want to be able to find us at the museum. However, try to leave early so that you arrive on time, because reception isn't good in all parts of the museums, and you may be waiting a long time before we see your email.
2) 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.
3) If you are driving from Santa Barbara, be sure to give yourself at least two hours to drive to LA. You never know what kind of traffic that you will encounter.
4) Wear comfortable shoes and clothing! We will be doing a lot of walking and hiking up stairs, so you want to be very comfortable.
5) Charge your phone since you will want to take a lot of pictures at the museum.
