Visit a museum or art gallery before the end of Week 9.docx...

Visit a museum or art gallery before the end of Week 9. If
you are unable to get to a museum or gallery within your
area, then a "create your own museum" assignment can be
completed in its place (see Option 2 details below). The
museum or gallery should have content that fits our course
well. Here is some information about the museum visit in
person:
 It makes sense to approach a museum the way a seasoned
traveler approaches visiting a city for the first time. Find out what is
available to see. In the museum, find out what sort of exhibitions
are currently housed in the museum and start with the exhibits that
interest you.
 If there is a traveling exhibition, it's always a good idea to see
it while you have the chance. Then, if you have time, you can look
at other things.
 The quality of your experience is not measured by the amount
of time you spend in the galleries or the number of works of art that
you see.
 The most rewarding experiences can come from finding
ten (10) works of art by five (5) different artists who intrigue
you and then considering those works in leisurely
contemplation. Most museums have benches where you can sit and
study a particular piece.
Create and Curate Your Own Art Museum
For this paper, you will select and curate ten (10) works of art to include in
your own Art Museum. Use the text and online sources to help you find these
works of art. This assignment is an alternative option for visiting a museum
or art gallery.
After researching, answer the following questions by writing a two to three
(2-3) page report, (750-800 words) that describes your experience.
1. Select ten (10) works of art from at least five (5) artists from
different time periods discussed in the text, 18th century to modern
times.
