How to Use Google Earth to View a Virtual Tour of the Sculpture Exhibit
The 2006 public sculpture exhibit has 13 pieces that are installed across campus through May 27. The virtual tour maps seven of these, allowing you to fly to each one and click the numbered icons for pop-up windows that will tell you the title of the piece and the name of the artist.
The pop-up windows within the tour have a hyperlink to a web page with a photo of the artist and a description of their work.
The sculpture art exhibit itself was coordinated by Jann Nunn, Art Professor, Sonoma State University. The virtual tour concept was derived by Jean Wasp, Media Relations, Sonoma State University. The Google Earth virtual tour was created by Brett Christie, School of Education, Sonoma State University.
