Gallery Visitation Due Dates 2008-2009 Wednesday, October 8
|
It is my belief that a student who
elects to take an art course beyond Art I is truly
interested in the visual arts and is committed to learning
all that he/she can during the year. To that end, I
sincerely believe that first hand understanding of art works
can only be done by direct observation at a museum or
gallery. Therefore, as an assignment, and for a project
grade, I require that each student visit an art museum/gallery
each nine weeks. A written report (gallery
visitation handout)
should be submitted to me before the end of the nine weeks on
the dates announced. I suggest that the students car pool or encourage
parents to make it a family outing. There are a number of excellent
museums and galleries in town. For a list of galleries and
information on current shows, see the Playbook section of
the Friday Commercial Appeal. Please remember that this is a
fine arts course, and while the various science and history
museums are excellent educational exhibits, they are not
arts museums and will not satisfy this class requirement.
Frame and poster shops may Not be reviewed for credit
either. Late papers will NOT be
accepted. Many museums are closed on Mondays,
I suggest calling concerning times, dates and exhibits prior
to attending. If you have any questions or
concerns about this assignment, please call me at
Collierville High School 853-3310.
