General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability AA/AS - Fine Arts AA/AS - Multicultural Studies 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: Class discussions can be used as continual assessments of students' abilities to verbally analyze artworks and use proper terminology. For example, students may be asked to discuss how a work of art on the screen is typical of a specific historical style (such as Mughal painting) Essay Examinations Example: Essays exams may test students on application of knowledge and comparison of style, content, function, and context of works. Such as, an in class timed essay where the student is given two monuments or paintings to compare in terms of style, content, function, and historical context. Students would be assessed in terms of ability to make connections between works, both in terms of similarities and differences, tying those similarities and differences to media, technique, and historical context. They would also have to demonstrate ability to use required terms and correctly identify style, media, and techniques in the images. Objective Examinations Example: Objective exams may test students on basics of terminology and recognition of major artists and artworks/monuments. Such as, a fill in the blank quiz where students must identify major elements in floor plans, and image identifications (artist, title, and date). Reports Example: Reports in the form of assigned formal papers can be used to address specific themes in the course, such as asking each student to choose one major contemporary artist to research and in a paper analyze their connections to the past, involvement in international art scene, and ways in which they challenge orientalist bias. The final paper would be assessed for research methods and citing, ability to clearly organize and state information, and application of historical and aesthetic approaches to an artist and their products. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lecture: nstructor presents A. Visually oriented lectures, such as PowerPoint presentations, about artworks and their historical contexts. For example, a lecture on the Great Mosque of Cordoba discussing how the layout adheres to the tenets of Islamic faith, consciously uses architectural elements to reference earlier Umayyad Dynasty and Medina, demonstrates the political power of the Caliph patrons, as well as how the mosque has been modified and exotified in the ‘Reconquista’ period of Catholic Spain. Students will build their ability to identify major elements of Islamic architecture (CLSO 5: Locate, describe, and distinguish the major elements of Islamic architecture in terms of style and function), correlate elements to their theological function (CLSO 1: Correlate the direct impact of the principles of the Islamic faith on specific examples of art and architecture), use proper terminology (CSLO 3: Demonstrate visual literacy by analyzing artworks using proper historical terminology and formal elements), and critique analysis for western bias (CSLO 2: Critique images and scholarship in terms of western cultural relativism and how it influences the study and interpretation of Islamic art). Distance Learning The instructor also creates B. Class and small group discussions (online and on ground) such as: Compare and contrast the floor plan of an Ottoman mosque and a Safavid mosque. What elements do they have in common and what elements are different? What accounts for these similarities and differences? Analyze a primary document relating to social and cultural context of art making (contracts, artistic biography, historical art criticism) Work together to analyze an unknown object in terms of subject and style as if coming across an image in a museum or gallery setting. In these types of activities, students will actively apply their knowledge and skills to new situations, engaging with visual literacy and analysis skills, including CSLO 3 (Demonstrate visual literacy by analyzing artworks using proper historical terminology and formal elements) as well as the before mentioned CSLOs 1, 2, 4, and 5) Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read chapter in your text and select one object produced during the Fatimid era. In a two-page, typed double-spaced paper, thoroughly describe the object in terms of medium, process, style, function, and who the most likely patron of the object would be. 2. Read provided primary document from instructor (such as reading on Postcolonial theory). Respond to the provided questions and post your response to the class discussion board and respond to at least three other student responses. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Select two different articles of Islamic art that reflect similar design but use different mediums. Identify each article (title, date/period, medium) and discuss how they might or might not be associated in terms of the underlying principles that may have inspired both. 2. Islamic art uses geometry as one of the methods of visually expressing variety within unity. In a hands-on project (drawing, painting, collage, etc.), design your own composition that shows unity and variety in the same work. Write a one-page paper to explain your composition. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. From the list of Web sites provided in your syllabus, find an example of contemporary Islamic religious architecture (Mosque, Madrasa, or Mausoleum). In a two-page paper analyze the characteristics that are consistent with its medieval counterparts as well as elements that are different and more modern. 2. Through web search and/or library research find a controversial work of Islamic art. Write about the elements that cause the controversy, the socio-economical background and what in your opinion can be done about it, or if anything needs to be done about it.
