Museum Visit
You may visit any of the following museums. Don’t forget to scan your ticket stub, flier, or pamphlet. Save it as a JPEG file, and attach it to the assignment.

NOTE: Call first, and make sure they’re open. If these choices are too far for you, send me a message, so I can approve your choice.

Essay
Your essay should be no less than two pages. First Select 2 works of art from the collection that you really liked. Include the name of the work, artist, time, and culture. Comment on your emotional response, aesthetic reaction, why you liked them, and why you think they're important. Did they make you think or see things differently? Do they have a strong message?

Select 2 works of art from the collection that you didn’t like. Include the name of the work, artist, time, and culture. Comment on your emotional response - and aesthetic reaction. Why do you think you didn’t like them? Why you think they're not important? Did they fail to make you think or see things differently? Do they have a weak message? Did you disagree with their message?

Save Your Work
Don’t assume your teachers use the same word processor you use. Save your work as an RTF file (Rich Text Format). That way I can read it.  If you’re using Microsoft Word, go to File, Save as, at the bottom next to [Save as type] select Rich Text Format. See the picture below:

Click Save. Choose a name that is easy to identify, and save to a folder where it will be easy to find.

If you have a Mac, and you are using Pages, Click File, Export, and RTF.

Attach Your Work
Log back into Blackboard. Click the blue Course Work button to the left. Open the Chapter 2 folder. At the bottom is a link to attach your work. It looks like this:

Type a message. Click Browse My Computer. Locate the file on your computer. Click Open. Click Submit. Once you click Submit, I can grade it, but you can no longer make changes. If you click Save as Draft you can work on it later, but I can’t see or grade it. When you’re completely finished, click Submit. Don’t email or message your work, and remember you can do any assignment over again.
