AMERICAN WORKS AT THE HIGH MUSEUM

Fall 2008

Not all of the artists who are on the Term Project list are represented by works at the High Museum, but it is worth the trip to see those which are there.  If your artist does have work there, you should plan to spend some time with it there, and take copious notes about it.  Especially examine it very thoroughly, becoming really familiar with it.  Take a photo if allowed. (Get a photo permission pass at the entry desk, but photos may not be allowed for all works.) Bring a lead pencil for note-taking or you will have to use a stubby golf pencil.  Ink pens not allowed.

The High Museum may not have any particular work on display at any given moment, so you may need to be flexible.
