General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability AA/AS - Fine Arts CSU GE Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU approval) Cal-GETC Applicability (Recommended - Requires External Approval) IGETC Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU/UC approval) Articulation Information Methods of Evaluation Projects Example: Students will be evaluated on their ability to execute a project. They will be assessed in their research, sketches of ideas, and craftsmanship of the final objects and forms. Skill Demonstrations Example: Students will be evaluated on their ability to build a form using the coil building technique. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: The instructor will demonstrate and distribute a tutorial exercise covering how to use the hand building techniques to successfully build a vessel form. Once the tutorials are completed, the students will then apply the knowledge to a vessel from their research. Lecture: Students will engage in questions and discussion about the historical works being presented. Students will then research the historical vessels of a non-western culture of their choosing and present a slide presentation on their research. Distance Learning Students will watch video and in-person tutorial and slide presentation on the coil building technique. Students will then develop sketches to be applied using the coil building method. Students will submit their progress drawings to the instructor for feedback. Instructor will lecture and do in-studio demonstration of the coil building method. Students will apply their drawings to produce forms using the coil building method. Students will submit their completed projects to the discussion board and critique through a written format. Students will be required to participate by responding to their peers' comments in the discussion board. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1.Students will read "This Artist is Making Ceramics to Honor People of Color from Obama to Biggie" by Rob Goyanes. Digital Articel on "Artsy.net" and discuss how artists pull from their personal histories and cultures in the creation of art. 2. Students will read excerpt by Susan and Jan Peterson titled " Historical Overview of Ceramics" in "The Craft and Art of Clay" by Susan and Jan Peterson and summarize main ideas. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1.Maintain a notebook of lecture material and a sketchbook of ideas and designs for class projects. 2. Design and execute ceramic forms, using pinch, coil and slab fabrication techniques. 3. Apply appropriate surface designs; mishima and scraffitto to the selected projects. 4. Gallery/Museum/Artist research report. 5. Slide presentation or research paper on Non-Western Historical Vessels 6. Demonstrate safe studio practices via participation and written exam. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. Mid-term critique portfolio review. 2. Final critique portfolio review. 3. Vocabulary/proper techniques test.
