Museum Lectures/Visiting Artists

In addition to our projects and homework, will we attend lectures and events which are going on in the museum next door. Students enrolled in studio courses are extremely fortunate to have the Cornell Fine Arts Museum open and available to them as a supplemental learning resource.  In addition, the Department of Art and Art History will also host several visiting artists and scholars who will give lectures at CFAM and CFAC.  You are required to attend 2 lectures as homework assignments for the course. To receive credit, you will write a brief (250 words) response and post it to the blog under “LECTURES” no later than the following class meeting. Check http://www.rollins.edu/cfam/exhibitions/ for a full schedule of lectures. Any CFAM/CFAC artist talk, panel or scholarly lecture for Fall 2012 will count towards this assignment. 

These responses are due by the last day of class, Nov. 29th

Here are guidelines for responding to the lectures on the blog:

1. At the top your entry, type the title and date of the lecture along with the name of the person who gave it.
2. Summarize the main points of the lecture and point out at least one aspect that was new information to you or that you found particularly interesting. 
3. If possible, make connections between this course and the content of the lecture.
