This quarter we have two spectacular field trips planned. Our first field trip is to the Getty Center and the second field trip is to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). 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.

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.

ALTERNATIVE MUSEUM TRIP: If you are unable to attend the Getty Center, or LACMA then you can go on your own on a different day, or do the alternative trip to the SBMA, but you must attend at least one of the LA museums with our class.
ALTERNATIVE TRIP to SBMA: This is in case of an emergency that prevents you from attending one of the two LA museum field trips, but not both.

Nota Bene: The museum trip is all-day immersive experience, and therefore the museum field trip is in lieu of both of the Art 126 seminar meetings that week. If you do not go to the museum that week, or do the alternative museum field trip, then you will have two absences and a zero on the writing assignment that week. Take a selfie at the museum, and photographs of the works of art that were of interest to you, and include them in your paper (see assignments in the "Reading" tab at the top of the website).
