Welcome to Art 130 Fall Quarter 2024

 Hello everyone,

Welcome to Art 130 Fall Quarter 2024. I wanted to talk a bit more 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 each be in a group 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. 

Art 130 will be taught in-person. However, the first lecture, on Monday, September 30, will be via Zoom. Zoom link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/83111992304

We have two exciting field trips this quarter:

Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, October 19

The Getty Center on Saturday, November 9

Please fill out the Museum Liability Waivers by the first day of class: HERE.

Please complete the Art 130 Questionnaire at your earliest convenience and email it to me: taschian@arts.ucsb.edu

Required Books:

All of the books will be available from the Campus Bookstore, Amazon, the publishers and they are on reserve at the library.

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 an artist about whom you will write a formal research paper (their work must be relevant to the topic of  this seminar). You need to have selected your rough topic by Friday, October 25 by 6:00PM PT (week 4). Your artist 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 from the Davidson Library. You will note that I have linked to the Art 1A page of the Davidson Library website because it is very easy to navigate, and it is very helpful. Before you select your artist, be sure to look through our books for inspiration, 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: hnisen@ucsb.edu

6) Office Hours: By appointment and directly following class.

7) Reading Journals: The group reading journals are due every Friday 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. 

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. All three waivers are in the same DocuSign Document (open it once and sign three times). Sign HERE.

Museum Field Trips Art 130 Fall 2024

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 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.

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.

Our faculty foster communities of inquiry and free speech based in self-awareness, individual responsibility, and an informed world view. We encourage divergent opinion and cogent argument, believing lively debate, exposure to differing viewpoints, and a certain level of discomfort are essential to intellectual and artistic growth.

 

In our classes, students will be shown work and introduced to theories and practices that may challenge their beliefs and assumptions. Students are expected to think critically rather than react impulsively; to consider opposing viewpoints and others’ opinions and experiences with openness and thoughtfulness; and to engage in a manner befitting themselves as artists and scholars in this university, an institution of higher learning."

3) Art 130Questionnaire: 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, November 2 (Week 5). You may use any of the assigned books for this class, but you will also want to utilize scholarly journal articles from the Davidson Library Website (HERE). You will note that I have linked to the Art 1A page of the Davidson Library website because it is very easy to navigate, and it is very helpful. Before you select your photographer, be sure to look through your four books for inspiration, 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, Chizu Morihara.

7) Group Reading Journals: You will submit your weekly reading summaries each Friday by 10:00PM 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.
