FIELD is a class that utilizes field trips to explore ideas of site in its meaning for those that live in the Los Angeles area past, present and future. This class cultivates a keen awareness of the contextualization of site as investigation, enjoyment, content source and responsibility within the metropolitan area of Los Angeles County. This class welcomes the articulation and practice of all kinds of art media within student's art practice. Through direct experience, students will visit 5 distinct and geographically separate neighborhoods to learn about both their historical roles in the fabric of Los Angeles as aesthetic muse and source of intellectual engagement. Los Angeles is a site in which significant cultural capital is produced, shared within, and exported from these areas. Modes of transport, cell phone will be needed (and masks worn in a COVID aware socially distanced class) when we meet at each outdoor location. Here we will generate art through participating in physical, visual, spatial, spiritual, intellectual and sensual connections that we access through our various spatial movements. Since "Field" is excursion oriented it meets for a full day 9:00am-6pm, weeks 1-8. This course consists of independently directed art-making. It, therefore, adapts to the individual student's needs and can be taken every summer term without repeating course content.
