SAUGATUCK HIGH SCHOOL
VISUAL ART
Gallery Visit
For this assignment, you will need to go to a local gallery with a printed copy of the gallery visit form (see Schoology to download). Please make sure to answer all of the questions on the form, please take a selfie or have someone else take a picture of you with the art, and make sure to have a gallery attendant sign and date the form.
Next, do one of the 2 following options:
1. Print out your selfie picture (IN COLOR) and physically attach it to the form and turn both in class.
2. Upload your selfie to the assignment page on Schoology and separately hand in your form in class.
Please remember to act in a proper manner when attending a gallery space.
-
Identify yourself as a student from SHS and ask if it is ok to take your picture with the work.
-
Do NOT touch the art!
-
Bring something to write on and write with. Do not write on the floor or on a wall and please bring your own pen or pencil.
-
Please do not go with a large group of students. You may attend a gallery with one or two other students but please keep your voices down and be respectful. If going with another student be sure that you both pick different pieces to report back about (or I will mark you both down) - this is not a group project.
-
Do not interrupt a gallery attendant to sign your form if they are busy with another patron.
