April 11 Class

FIELD TRIP!

We will be meeting in the classroom at 2 p.m. sharp and leaving for SITE Santa Fe from there.

Be sure to bring:

• writing material
• writing utensils
• anything else you might want to document your visit (camera phones etc)

The museum is closed on Mondays, but we will be receiving a private tour from one of the docents. Afterward, you should have time to take notes and write on site. Your goal is to find a piece (or pieces) about which you’d like to write an arts piece for the Gallery Guide we’ll produce.

Your rough drafts will be due in class on April 18.

Bring TWO hard copies for in-class peer review. Email one digital copy in a Word Doc to Julia, as these will be edited for grammar/other issues and sent back to you for your final draft.

Length: 500 words (please contact me individually if you want to write a longer piece)
Parameters: A review, criticism or interview of one of the pieces from the show that makes use of the four elements of arts writing as discussed.
Final Drafts: Final drafts are due by email to me no later than the start of class on April 25. These should be error-free and will be published as part of our class gallery guide for SITE Santa Fe.

There will also be assigned readings on the Lyric Essay for the April 25 class, so be sure to check this website after our field trip for additional reading information.

Although we’ll be caravanning to SITE, if you are a driver, please review the map below so you have a general idea where we’ll be going. We’ll park behind SITE; I’ll bring change for the parking meters.
