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 Classroom Discussions Example: Students will begin classroom discussions from the beginning of the concept & design development. By contributing to in-class discussions, students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of their ideas and offer thoughts & suggestions to fellow classmates. Classroom discussions are also inclusive of the critiques required at the end of the assignment. Projects Example: Students will be required to complete approximately 3 assignments throughout the semester. These assignments include concept development and design of a cardboard/ mat board maquette, successful execution of the project at hand, and verbal knowledge and assessment of their assignments. Reports Example: Reports include assigned artist research as well as gallery visits papers. Written reports include student research, observational writing, and critical observations based on class information and topics. Skill Demonstrations Example: Students will be evaluated on formal critiques of assigned student projects/artworks; the ability to choose the appropriate techniques (forming, forging, welding and finishing) and materials to create fabricated metal art works of their concepts will be the main focus for evaluation. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: The instructor will lecture on integrating concept, design, and technology as it pertains to metal art works. The students will then take mat board and create a maquette (small scale model) of their first assignment taking into consideration the elements and principles of design in 3-dimensional works as well as transferring the techniques to metal. Lecture: The instructor will lecture and demonstrate for all project techniques and will lead a critique of finished project works, evaluating: craftsmanship, proper choice of materials and how students best realized their initial vision. Distance Learning Visually oriented image presentation lecture demonstrating the creation of a pattern-making and the reproduction of an object in metal via the creation of a pattern. Video examples of contemporary artists using pattern making in their metal artworks. Students will then be guided through a step by step process of creating the pattern for abstract forms depicting movement which will begin in cardboard and constructed in steel. Students submit progress to the instructor for feedback. Completed projects are posted to the discussion board and critiqued through written format using appropriate vocabulary and terminology pertaining to the basic elements and organizing principles of three-dimensional art. Active and relevant participation includes students responding to each other's comments in the discussion board. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments Students will be required to read from various sources; 1. Read handout on surface decoration techniques and discuss applicable and appropriate use for your project. 2. Read on the elements and principles as seen in metal arts and choose artists whose work will be evaluated and discussed based on the elements & principles. 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 metal forms, using formed, forged and welding techniques as indicated in the course content. 3. Apply appropriate finish surface decoration using patinas, heat oxides and organic coatings (paint). 4. Gallery/Museum/Artist research and assessment paper. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) Out of class work will include both library and internet research. Portfolio of students finished works will be presented during formal critiques. The writing assignment will require the student to develop a course notebook to include lecture notes, concept drawings, and out of class research.

General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability CSU GE Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU approval) Cal-GETC Applicability (Recommended - Requires External Approval) IGETC Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU/UC approval) Articulation Information CSU Transferable Methods of Evaluation Classroom Discussions Example: After the instructor provides criteria and definitions of literary terms, the students will discuss and evaluate the virtues and limitations of individual submissions for publication. Objective Examinations Example: The instructor will give an exam assessing students' understanding of literary terminology while analyzing passages from formal fiction and poetry. Reports Example: Students will present information in a report regarding the current publication status to the instructor and Sierra Journal team. Skill Demonstrations Example: The instructor will evaluate students' scoring and analysis of works published in previous issues of Sierra Journal as they analyze complexity, imagery, message, etc. Other Example: The instructor, peers, and students evaluate each other and themselves regarding their roles within the team in written or verbal communication. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Activity Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Activity: Through lecture, assigned readings, and discussion, the instructor guides students in generating criteria for evaluating works of literature for publication. For example, students apply culturally informed practices to evaluate works that include specific vernacular and dialects. Lecture: The instructor will provide reading on the elements of literature and samples from work in a particular genre. Students will analyze the samples to identify which elements are present and discuss how the writer employs the elements to convey meaning. Distance Learning The instructor models an analysis of a work of short fiction in a video lecture, highlighting the virtues and limitations of the work for students. Students then use class evaluation criteria to critique a separate work of short fiction by the same author, write their critique in the discussion board, and then comment on one another’s evaluation. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments Read pages 1-25 of Sierra Journal and compare submissions based on criteria established in lecture and class activities. Read #11-20 of short fiction submissions and evaluate according to criteria established in lecture and class activities. Read poetry submissions #50-65 and evaluate according to criteria established in lecture and class activities. Read the handout on editorial practices and evaluating literature and apply principles from the reading to generate criteria for ranking submissions to the Sierra Journal. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance Prepare written marketing solicitation for submissions. Evaluate poems #20-30 during selection process. Prepare questions for guest speaker. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) Prepare submissions for final review. Communicate with submitting authors. Provide input regarding the magazine design. Required Materials Other materials and-or supplies required of students that contribute to the cost of the course.
