ART 130 RESOURCES:

1) Art 130 Syllabus: can be found HERE.

2) Weekly Reading Assignments: can be found HERE.

3) Art 130 Questionnaire: can be found HERE. Please fill this out and return it to me very quickly. There are numerous questions that relate to your access to technology during this time.

4) Research Paper Prompt: can be found HERE. You will be selecting the photographer about whom you will write a formal research paper. You need to have selected your rough topic by Thursday, October 28 by 6:00PM. Your photographer should be well enough known to have been the subject of scholarly research. You may use any of the assigned books for this class, but you will also want to utilize scholarly journal articles and books from the Davidson Library Website (HERE). Before you select your photographer, be sure to look through your four books for inspiration, and the many research materials available from the library, and once you have narrowed down the field I will speak with each of you individually about your proposed subject of research.

5) If you need help finding research materials, then please reach out to our Art and Architecture Librarian, Heather Nisen. Her information can be found HERE.

6) Office Hours: By appointment, and also after class on Tuesdays. Email: taschian@arts.ucsb.edu

7) Group Reading Journals: You will submit your weekly reading summaries each Thursday by 6:00PM PT. Your reading journals are largely intended to help you learn the material, and to identify scholarly sources that can be used in your research paper. However, they also allow me to see how you are framing and interpreting the materials the we are covering.

You should be summarizing the most important points that are made by the authors, and those that you find particularly interesting. You need to write in full sentences, rather than listing abbreviated ideas in the form of bullet points. Send them in a PDF or WORD File, not a Google Doc.

8) Students must submit the liability waiver form for each trip, and will not receive free admission without them. If you show up to the museum without having done this, you will have to pay full admission and you will not legally be recognized as part of the UCSB Department of Art field trip. If you have difficulty filling out your DocuSign Liability Waiver, then email your professor and our Undergraduate Advisor, Hannah Vainstein: arts-undergraduate@ucsb.edu. 

Fill out all three Museum Liability Waivers HERE by the first day of class. All three waivers are in the same DocuSign document and each one must be signed and dated. https://na3.docusign.net/Member/PowerFormSigning.aspx?PowerFormId=ec96b5e7-038b-4e46-9484-a35f926db58f&env=na3&acct=36d87d60-c882-4887-835a-bc389fb776dd&v=2

Art 130 Museum Field Trips Fall Quarter 2025

This quarter we have two spectacular field trips planned. Our first field trip is to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the second field trip is to the Getty Center. There are simply too many important exhibitions between these two museums, and therefore we will have two field trips. These field trips are all day events, and they are in lieu of the lectures that week. If you are unable to go to the Getty Center or LACMA, there is an alternative field trip for you to attend on your own during the week of our LACMA or Getty Trips. The alternative trip is to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (details below). You must attend one of the Los Angeles field trips, and can do the other in Santa Barbara, if you can't make the trip to LA twice. It is by far preferable that you attend both Los Angeles field trips.

PLEASE FILL OUT ALL THREE OF THE LIABILITY WAIVERS ASAP:

All three liability waivers are in this one link. Be sure to sign and date all three, and you must use your first and last name. Link HERE: https://na3.docusign.net/Member/PowerFormSigning.aspx?PowerFormId=ec96b5e7-038b-4e46-9484-a35f926db58f&env=na3&acct=36d87d60-c882-4887-835a-bc389fb776dd&v=2

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.

Welcome to Art 130: Art in the Age of the Internet & Contemporary Digital Culture (Summer Session A: 2025)

Hello everyone,

I wanted to tell you bit about Art 130, and how we will be approaching this class. As many of you already know, I teach Art 130 as a seminar rather than as a lecture.

This class is intended to prepare you for advanced studies and graduate school. You will be in reading groups of 4-5 people, and your group will present the weekly readings to the entire class each week. This method, which is the foundation of the graduate seminar, engages everyone in interesting discussions about the reading materials and the works of art discussed. It is an intellectually stimulating and gratifying way to learn the material and to grow academically. It is even more gratifying when you work closely with your peers in a group because you learn so much by sharing your interpretations and perceptions with one another. 

Our topic this quarter is Art in the Age of the Internet, and I eagerly anticipate our lively discussions about the art that we encounter together.

I look forward to meeting all of you in class when the quarter begins! Please be sure to go to the campus bookstore (or online HERE) to pick up your books, or you can order them from the publisher or Amazon. Please order them quickly because Summer Session is fast-paced and you need to be prepared on the first day. If you do not receive your copy before class begins, then please either purchase it directly from the campus bookstore or check out the copies on reserve at the library.

Art 130 lectures will be taught in-person. If you have time conflicts with work and with other classes, or you are planning vacations during Summer Session A, then you should take Art 130 another quarter. 

There are also two mandatory Los Angeles museum field trips that are an important part of the class. Please make sure that you are available on Saturday, July 12 (LACMA) and Saturday, July 26 (The Getty Center). These two class meetings will be in lieu of some on-campus meetings those weeks. LACMA will provide free tickets only to people registered in my class, and who filled out the liability waiver. The Getty Center will supply free parking to people registered in my class who carpool (2 or more Art 130/Art 1A students in each vehicle). There is an alternative field trip available, at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, in lieu of one LA trip. This should only be used if you have an emergency that prevents you from going on one of the two Los Angeles field trips.

Mandatory Museum Field Trips & Liability Waivers (HERE):

https://powerforms.docusign.net/617c99b5-0029-4e2f-893b-a196a28a3eb6?env=na3&acct=36d87d60-c882-4887-835a-bc389fb776dd&accountId=36d87d60-c882-4887-835a-bc389fb776dd

Fill out the museum liability waivers before our first class meeting. Both trips require Liability Waivers (and they are hyperlinked above): Sign and date all three liability waivers in the same document. You must write your full name as it appears in your school records.
