On Tuesday, September 8 at 5:30 PM, members of the Arts 1304 Internet Class will meet at the San Antonio Museum of Art, located at 200 W. Jones Avenue in San Antonio.  (Please note that Museum Admittance is free with a valid SAC id.)   This trip will provide us with the opportunity to meet each other face-to-face, and will allow you to begin work on your Museum Assignment.  Please contact me at least one week prior to the scheduled meeting date if for some reason you are unable to make the trip.   (For those living out of town, we will discuss an alternative art collection you may visit in order to complete this assignment and the Research Paper.)  SAMoA is located just north of downtown San Antonio and can be reached off of N. St. Mary's Street or from Broadway.  (For directions, click on Museum Information, then Visitor Information.)

During the museum visit you will have the chance to view the various collections of art assembled at SAMoA (Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Asian, European, American, Latin American, Contemporary, Folk Art, etc.)  The collections are extensive, so plan to stay at the museum for approximately two or more hours .  From those collections that reflect the material we will study in the Art History Survey II course (ranging in date from approximately 1300 to present  day), you will select six works of art to explore in greater depth (see the Museum Assignment).   You should use the occasion of the field trip to write a thorough descriptions of each of the six objects you choose.  Remember, I will be available to help you with your selections during our field trip meeting.
