Cultural and Historical References as they Impact the Successful Communication of their Work Course Objectives Course Objectives Lecture Objectives: 1. describe the process of conception, design, execution, finish and presentation in creating original works; 2. describe appropriate tools and technology to create art works; 3. describe proper and safe methods for using clay, plaster, foam, alginate, wax casting equipment, and appropriate sculpture working tools and equipment; 4. describe a variety of sculptural techniques such as, relief, additive, and subtractive as they relate to formal and abstract figurative concepts; 5. investigate the historical and cultural importance of the figure in art; 6. critique class projects for craftsmanship and aesthetic outcomes individually and in groups; and 7. examine and discuss the historical aspects of both design and techniques in figure sculpture. Laboratory Objectives: 1. create individual works by a process of conception, design, execution, finish and presentation; 2. perform basic ceramic construction techniques as they relate to free standing figurative sculpture; 3. select and use appropriate tools and technology to create art works; 4. select and apply proper and safe methods for using clay, plaster, foam, alginate, wax casting equipment, and appropriate sculpture working tools and equipment; 5. use a variety of ceramic techniques such as, relief, additive, and subtractive as they relate to formal and abstract design concepts; 6. create and develop contemporary personal sculptural forms through a series of figurative sculpture expressing the above concerns; 7. critique class projects for craftsmanship and aesthetic outcomes individually and in groups; 8. investigate and apply experimental methods of sculpture fabrication and finish of figurative art works. Methods of Evaluation Classroom Discussions Projects Reports Skill Demonstrations Reading Assignments 1. Research and read about 3 contemporary figurative artists and take notes on how they approach the human figure. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Maintain a notebook of lecture material and a sketchbook of ideas and designs for class projects. 2. Research and write a short essay based upon a visit to a gallery or sculptor's studio. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) Participate in three class critiques. Critique example: The critique process involves the student presenting a finished art piece, class response, and instructor input: a) The student presents a finished piece of artwork. They should describe their piece using formal design concepts and three-dimensional vocabulary terms; b) Students should address any technical issues important in the constructing of their piece; c) Students should address how their piece fits the conceptual criteria of the assignment; d) Class and instructor should give feedback and elaborate their own responses to this information.

Catalog Description DESCRIPTION IS HERE: Formerly known as PHED 66 Hours: 36 activity per unit Description: Basic level course designed to teach students how to recognize and avoid potential threats, and to mentally and physically prepare themselves to respond to physical attacks if they should occur. Covers responses to a variety of attack situations including pushes, grabs, chokes, punches, kicks, rear attacks, ground attacks, and assaults with handguns, long-guns and knives. Special emphasis is placed on takedowns, disarming and controlling attackers. (CSU, UC-with unit limitation) Units 1-2 Lecture-Discussion Laboratory By Arrangement Contact Hours 36-72 Outside of Class Hours 36-72 Course Student Learning Outcomes Explain safety and liability issues associated with self-defense, and the importance of using reasonable and appropriate force. Explain how to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim through awareness, recognition, avoidance and prevention. Outline the ability to effectively escape from and/or respond to a variety of attack situations. Demonstrate the ability to effectively take an attacker to the ground and apply a control hold. Course Content Outline I. Basics of Motion A. Analyzing speed B. Distinguishing path of action II. Understanding Range A. Measuring distance B. Depth of action III. Execute Foot and Hand Positions A. Dimensions of height, width, and depth B. Hand to foot placement C. Proper hand to foot relationship IV. Critique Stances A. Proper height B. Proper width C. Proper depth V. Analyze the Nature of an Attack A. Boxer versus kicker attack B. Stand up fighter versus ground fighter VI. Implement Natural Weapons A. Utilizing hands properly B. Utilizing feet properly VII. Analytical Study of Motion A. Directional harmony B. Settling C. Back up mass VIII. Create a Self Defense Technique A. Analyzing the nature of attack B. Engaging proper stance C. Utilizing proper weapons IX. Compare and Contrast Positioned Blocks A. Natural defenses B. Hard versus soft C. Linear versus circular X. Structure Natural Defenses A. Inner environment B.

Lower body flexibility (ex. Hamstring stretch floor) I. Upper body flexibility (ex. Back scratch) J. Stair Climb (ex. count steps over time) Course Objectives Course Objectives 1. Create a self defense technique common to the martial arts; 2. Structure natural defenses used in a combative situation; 3. Analyze the nature of an attack; 4. Identify dimensional stages of action; 5. Compare and contrast positioned blocks; 6. Execute foot and hand positions; 7. Critique stances common to basic self defense; 8. Implement natural weapons and their appropriate targets; 9. Analyze and evaluate methods of motion upon attack; and 10. Measure the range of distance upon attack. Methods of Evaluation Essay Examinations Objective Examinations Skill Demonstrations Reading Assignments 1. Read an article on natural weapons from a self defense periodical and be prepared to discuss in class. 2. Read an article from instructor supplied handout addressing the nature of attack and be prepared to discuss in class. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Given an attack scenario, students will critique and compare/contrast their findings with the other students in the class. 2. In small groups students will compare and contrast two styles of self defense and present their findings to the class.
