Museum Homework (blog #4)

Hello class,
I want to remind you that we are not meeting for class on Thur. Feb 16th instead use the time  for this week's homework. To do the homework, visit the Museum of Fine Arts Houston or your could also visit the Contemporary arts Museum across the street (iboth are open till 9pm on Thur) . Check their websites (in the links) for hours and locations- I know that if you show your student ID and tell them you are there for a homework assignment you will get in free to the Museum of Fine Arts- the Contemporary Arts museum is always free.

Instructions: Take as much time as you can to look around the museum until you find a work of art that you are drawn to or are most interested in to write about. You can pick absolutely any work of art in the museum.  It is extremely important that you complete this writing in the museum, DO NOT rely on your memory! If you can, take a photo of the art that you choose. In most cases they will let you shoot without a flash. Then post the photo on the blog where you will also turn in the review. This post is due by Monday 2/20.
