The objective of Field Experience is to expose you to fine art in person, to help you develop skills of observation and awareness, and to broaden your understanding of art in general. Field Experiences are fun and for many it is the first time experiencing fine art in person. Be respectful and open-minded. If you don’t “get it”, don’t worry, many times art intends to challenge or provoke feelings that might be uncomfortable. Simply take notice of your experiences and avoid “thinking” as thinking means you have slipped away from experiencing and you are just trying to … “get it”. Place yourself in an observant frame of mind and document what you see using the vocabulary gained from the textbook and discussion board.
