The Autry National
Center is an appropriate place for a Mass Comm 101 field trip.
It compares the media version of the American West with the
actual West.
Our Tuesday afternoon outing began in the plaza next to the
museum entrance. We had a great turnout. |
Some MC101s prepared for their assignment by
showing up early for lunch at the Autry's cafeteria, the Golden Spur,
and browsing through museum literature.
|
 |
 |
Others plunged into the assignment with a
certain amount of style. |
 |
But some were a little too enthusiastic. These MC101s
experience the Old West version of a "time out." |
 |
The American West was a more diverse place than was typically depicted in classic Western entertainment. This dragon was part of an exhibit on the Chinese community in Los Angeles. |
 |
Part of the museum was about the American West and how it has been portrayed in the movies. These MC101s are recreating a movie shootout on a western-style main street. |
 |
At the end of the field trip, MC101s got
their field trip credit and moseyed on out.
