Museum/Performance Visit Report
Museum/Performance Visit Report

Visit a real or virtual museum of his/her own choosing or attend a musical concert, dance presentation, or art exhibit. After the visit write a 700-1,000 word report about the visit and what you learned. The due date for this report is the end of Week 5 but you are free to submit it earlier should the opportunity present itself (any time during Weeks 1-5).

Students who are unable to visit a local museum or performance, etc. will find a rich resource of virtual museums at www.artcylopedia.com orwww.googleart.com

Submit your Museum Report Paper to the Assignment Folder “Museum Report” (even if you do a concert, dance recital, or exhibit the assignment folder is the same) by the end of Week 5.

Additional information about the rationale and guidelines for this assignment will be posted under Course Content by the end of our second week of class. NOTE:
