This field trip provides students with a visual experience of art in its present medium, rather than by slides or copies in books, etc. Students completing this field trip will explore the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown San Diego and demonstrate the ability to express a critical analysis by addressing the following specific questions and taking personal notes on the exhibitions.
Assignment (written paper format in paragraphs) Complete ALL parts in any order.
Part I – Dimensions of Black: A Collaboration with the San Diego African American Museum of Fine Art (12/16/2016-4/30/2017) 1. Select three works of art in this exhibit which you feel address an experience about race, gender and/or sexuality?

works of art? Why or why not?
Part II – Jennifer Steinkamp: Madame Curie
1. An installation is a work of art which occupies an entire room. As a viewer you participate with the work of art in a different way
than viewing a painting on a wall or a sculpture on a pedestal. Describe the feeling you had when you entered this installation.
2. View the piece from a distance and also up close to the wall. Is there a different feeling and visual effect in this viewing process?
3. How does Steinkamp utilize visual elements, such as line, shape, color, time & motion, space and texture and principles of design,
such as scale, rhythm, emphasis, balance, unity & variety?
4. Can you personally connect or relate to Steinkamp’s work of art in its reference to nature?
