Guided Worksheet for Visit to the Blanton Museum of Art
Due September 18, 2013
In order to complete this worksheet, you will need to visit the Blanton Museum of Art, which is located on the UT campus at the intersection of Congress and MLK. You will probably need about two hours for your visit.
The museum is free to everyone on Thursdays, always to UT students, and it is $5 for college students on any other days. Please do not forget to take your student ID! There is some parking at meters along the street, and parking in the Brazos Street garage (on the UT campus, just east of the museum) costs $3 with museum validation.
IMPORTANT: When you visit the museum, you will get a receipt as your ticket. Please staple the receipt to this worksheet. Otherwise, I cannot accept your homework. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Instructions: Please write clear, well-reasoned answers to the questions below during your visit to the Blanton Museum of Art. Each question focuses on a specific work or group of works in the museum, and the questions can serve as a guide through the museum, though you will surely see many other interesting things along the way. Your answers can be handwritten if they are legible, or you can take home your notes and type the answers for the final assignment. Have fun exploring, and let me know if you have any questions.
