Art Visit Review Guidelines/Outline for Paper Response:
Please read ALL instructions regarding the art visit.
This should be an IN PERSON visit to a museum/gallery/artistic place (studio, school art show/exhibit, art classroom, ART exhibition space and consists of professional artists and artwork (EX: Museums, Galleries, School art showcases (K-12 or Collegiate), Antique Shops, Pop-Up/street galleries, etc.)
*If you have questions about a location/gallery/etc. you wish to use for you review, please contact me.
Please note: It is HIGHLY encouraged and recommended if you are able to complete the art visit(s) in person if at all possible, PLEASE DO! It is the best way to experience art in person and beyond the computer or phone screen. **However, if that is not an option I am adding some virtual galleries and museums for you to peruse for your assignment. (Links below)
Be sure if you complete the virtual option that you are “touring” and “walking through” the galleries and museums/etc. as you would be required to do in person. You must answer all the questions/meet all the requirements of the assignment check list to receive the credit accordingly. You must also cite sources appropriately in MLA format (especially) if you are doing a virtual visit to check for plagiarism.
Virtual Websites: (Some may be repeated, but to give you a variety of options).
