Welcome!

Hey Class!

I enjoyed meeting each of you this morning and look forward to working with you throughout the coming semester.  I've made a few corrections to the syllabus and sent it to you via email. 

When was the last time you visited an art museum?  Look up some of the art museums in the North Texas area.  Come to class next week prepared to discuss the following:

Where are these museums located?
How can you get there?
Do these museums have a special focus (i.e. contemporary art, European art?)?
Are there currently any special exhibitions on display at any of these museumf?
How much does it cost to visit these museums and are there special discounts available to anyone?
Who gets the most benefit out of these museums?

Read The Student Toolkit--pages xvi through xvii--at the beginning of the textbook and be prepared to discuss its contents as well.
