MIA Field Trip

Videos (prior to visit)


  1. We will bring cameras to document our trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Art
  2. Think about what you have learned about photography to take some interesting photos while we are there: experiment with camera angles, distance, focus and depth of field. 
  3. Find one work from the permanent collection to photograph and use as inspiration for an artwork that you will create digitally. Take photos of the whole thing, and some details.
  4. Create a work of art using Illustrator that is inspired by the work. Maybe it has the same colors, or similar design elements, or the same subject. It shouldn't be a copy of the work, but just take some things from it and use them in a new way.
