The Norton Simon is a "medium" sized museum... LACMA... is larger! :)

Most, but not all, of LACMA is photo friendly.

Look through the buildings of LACMA and select one work per building that seems to in some way say something about who you are. Post a photo of each (if possible) on your blog. We like pictures with you standing near the artwork.

Write a paragraph for each piece explaining how it resonates for you.

Write a summary integrating your "art collection" at LACMA.

Art Project

Create an Identity collage. This project is wide open in terms of ideas and media. You could do a traditional "paper & glue" collage... you could do a video collage...

You can focus most of your energy in creating the piece. But also include a bit of writing discussing why and how you've created the piece.

Artist to Research

You have until your midterm to complete your Museum & Collage projects, but please post your artist project by Wed 2 March so your group members will have time to read and comment on your artist.

Please be sure to read your group-mates work before your midterm.
