Here is the review sheet for the exam. Please read before class on Monday.
If you find yourself in an art museum this week,FIRST - keep your ticket stub (you are REQUIRED to turn that in). Then, visit their Asia art collection. You can take pictures without a flash (take pictures of art you are intruqged by AND of the curator's notes of that art, so you can remember what you saw). You can also take notes (with a pencil). I'll ask you to write a refection about what you saw, abotu the experience and connections to the class for either an extra grade or as an optin for the exam. Here are possibilities: Worcester Art Museum is open from Wed - Sundays. It's free from 10-12 on the first Saturday (this year Jan 5) of every month. Right now, there are two special exhibits (one on Persian books and one on Contemporary Japanese Ceramic art) along with their regular Asain art displays. Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is open 7 days a week, except for holiday closings, and they have an extensive collection, including the Japanese Buddha Temple. They are free after 4:00 on Wednesday afternoons. The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem is really the place to go, if you can get there. They have an exhibit of art from the Empresses of China's Firbidden City, an exhibition of the global interest in Japan's pop art, and teh Ying Yu Tang house. They are open Tues through Sunday, although they will be closed on Christmas and New Year's.
