NORTHERN VIRGINIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Museum Visit Paper Information
Step One:
For this assignment you will be expected to visit an art museum in Washington, DC or the Washington National Cathedral.
Â
Step Two:
While there, you will pick a favorite work (any medium, any time period, any culture) and critique that work based upon its physical properties, expressive elements, iconography, and cultural context. If visiting the cathedral you should analyze the architecture and interior decoration using the same parameters.Â
Â
I would advise that you come to the museum/cathedral prepared to take notes and even sketches. That means that you should bring a small pad of a paper and a PENCIL. You will not be permitted to carry large bags around the galleries or use pen, markers, etc. Photos are also good, but please be sure to check with gallery guards or the information desk regarding rules about photography.
Â
Step Three:
You will take your notes and observations and write a 3 page paper (Typed and double spaced. FONT: Times New Roman (not bold), FONT SIZE: 12pt., Double spaced, Default margins) focusing on the elements described in brief above.  When citing sources please use the MLA style. You must also attach proof of your visit (ticket, brochure, etc.) and a copy of your image to the back of your paper.Â
