The best part about a VBC immersion project=FIELD TRIP! For our field trip we took a journey to the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Dayton Art Institute.
The tour group decided to take advantage of the cell phone tour the IMA offered in their gardens. We were disappointed. If there is anything this tour taught us it was that you have to have a clean audio recording that doesn't sound like poo in the listener's ear.
The rest of the IMA was lots of fun though. I especially enjoyed the contemporary art area.
After the IMA we drove to Dayton where the VBC treated us to dinner and Max and Erma's. So. Very. Delicious. I mean, if you tell me we're going to a nice restaurant, there's no limit to what I can spend, and I'm poor an haven't been out to eat in months, I am GOING to take full advantage. And I did. It was amazing.
So after we recovered from that delicious dinner, we took off to the Dayton Art Institute. Their audio tour was much more satisfactory. DAI in general seemed to be more education oriented than the IMA, which was a good change-up. I also found a birthday present for my sister there, so that was a plus as well.
After Dayton we took the ride back to Muncie (and then I took a ride back home). Overall, it was an enjoyable and eye-opening trip. It's the first time I've gone to a big art museum. I've been to plenty of exhibits and obviously the BSU MoA, but not a bigger one. I was surprised I was as comfortable as I was there.
The other fun part about this field trip was just hanging out with everyone in the group. We really are an amusing and fun group of people. I got a lot of good footage of the random antics that took place on the trip.
