General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability AA/AS - Fine Arts CSU GE Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU approval) CSUGE - C1 Arts Cal-GETC Applicability (Recommended - Requires External Approval) IGETC Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU/UC approval) IGETC - 3A Arts Articulation Information CSU Transferable UC Transferable Methods of Evaluation Classroom Discussions Example: Used to evaluate students' ability to verbally analyze paintings, sculpture and architecture and their correct use of correct vocabulary and terminology. This method allows the instructor to evaluate student understanding and to identify any areas of confusion or lack of understanding. For example, students may discuss (either in small groups in the classroom or on a discussion board) ways to describe and analyze the art work at a local gallery exhibit or museum. Essay Examinations Example: In-class essay questions related to lecture topics. For example: Students are asked to name and explain the architectural elements of churches, mosques and temples in the cultures featured in the lectures. In both of these methods, students are evaluated in terms of their ability to analyze similarities and differences in the imagery and architecture of different cultures and historical contexts and their ability to relate them to various artistic media and techniques. They are also evaluated on their correct use of vocabulary and terminology. Objective Examinations Example: Includes matching and defining assigned vocabulary and main ideas from chapters of the textbook. Quizzes may be multiple choice, fill-in the blank, or compare/contrast essay, or a combination of all three. For example: The quizzes and exams will contain an image of the Buddha and one of Jesus and students will be asked to explain the similarities and differences between them and the cultural assumptions each image represents. Standard Grading. Reports Example: Students visit a museum or gallery exhibition, choose two artists, research the biographies of those artists and then submit a written report analyzing and evaluating in detail the art works in the museum or gallery in relation to the biographies of the artists, using correct terminology and vocabulary.
