Suggestions: African, Classical, Judaic, Egyptian, Ancient American galleries.

1. Find two examples of outdoor or site-specific sculpture. Include the artist?s name and the title of the work. Describe each sculpture and note:

What did the sculpture look like as you approached it? Did it look different when you saw it up close? How is the sculpture integrated (visually, spatially) into the surrounding environment? How does it interact with the environment (what features of the sculpture/environment are emphasized?) Why do you think the artist and the museum chose to place it in this location?

2. If the weather is sunny:

Find the Cloud Chamber (hint ? it is down the path from the reddish sculpture shaped like an elongated pinecone, called ?Crossroads?). Once you enter, stay in it for at least 3 minutes. Describe what you saw after your eyes got used to the darkness. How does this camera obscura function? Note €” the Cloud Chamber is closed on rainy/overcast days and closes earlier than the museum on most days. The best time to go to the Cloud Chamber is around 12-1PM.
