FIELD is a class that utilizes field trips to explore ideas of site and its meaning for those that live in the Los Angeles area. Through direct experience students will visit distinct and geographically separate neighborhoods to learn about both their historical roles in the fabric of Los Angeles as well as the ways in which cultural capital is produced, shared within, and exported from these areas. Various modes of transport, Car, Metro, and walking, will be utilized to create physical, visual, spatial, and intellectual connections through the involvement with disparate modes of experience attained via daily migratory patterns. Contemporary and historical art, artworks, and artists will be the central lens from which all trips and experiences will arise.
