4 Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs) Students who have completed the Art/Fine Arts program will be able to: 1. Choose appropriate tools and materials for specific needs. 2. Demonstrate safe practices in various two-and three-dimensional media and studios. 3. Demonstrate problem-solving techniques in the process of design and execution. 4. Present, explain and justify their conceptual design solutions in an appropriate manner. 5. Critique the solutions of others in a positive, constructive manner. 6. Devise their own strategies for solving visual construction problems. 7. Identify and discuss artwork and styles from a wide range of historic eras and geographic locations. 8. Identify and discuss specific artists whose work they respond to positively, and how artists use the elements and principles of design to contribute to this positive response. Course-Level Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs): At the end of the course students will be able to: CSLO 1: Effectively use and apply wet and dry drawing media, including graphite, ink, charcoal, and conté crayon, as well as mixed media to personal projects. (PSLO 1 and 2) CSLO 2: Execute a variety of drawings that address aesthetic, technical, and conceptual issues in drawing. Develop a visual idea and execute a series of drawings that explores that idea. (PSLO 3 and 6) CSLO 3: Present and explain their own drawings, and constructively critique those of their peers, as well as those of historical and contemporary artists. (PSLO 4, 5 and 8) Assessments: Exercises Projects Participation Critiques CSLO 1 X X X CSLO 2 X X X CSLO 3 X X X CSLO 1: Exercises, projects, and Participation: Students further develop technical skills in the use of the various wet and dry drawing media, including graphite pencil, charcoal, conté crayon, and pen and ink, and ink wash. Students demonstrate an understanding of which type of drawing paper is best suited for which type of drawing medium. Students explore mixing media to learn the results of different combinations of media. Rationale: Further study and practice is required to gain more advanced skills in the use of the various drawing media, especially when using media in combination. Each drawing medium requires a different technique to be used effectively. Each drawing medium reacts differently to the various types of drawing paper and to each other. Students must better their technical drawing skills to more effectively solve conceptual drawing and design problems. CSLO 2: Exercises, Projects, and Participation: Students apply their technical drawing skills in the creation of drawings that address conceptual issues involved in drawing and develop and explore their own visual ideas. Exercises are designed for students to learn how to develop a visual idea. Projects are finished works that offer students an opportunity to apply their drawing skills to more complex drawing problems and to present the results of their explorations into their own visual ideas. Examples of exercises: Sketchbook work Layout sketching Quick sketching Page 4 of 8

5 Examples of projects: Abstract drawing Stylized drawing Drawing as an exploration of a personal vision Rationale: To move on to a more advanced level of art making, students further develop their skill at drawing in exploring conceptual aspects of drawing. Being able to identify and develop their own visual ideas is key if a student is going to become an artist. CSLO 3: Projects and Participation: Students research and analyze the drawings of historical and contemporary artists. Students are expected to present their work and to talk about drawing concepts, their visual ideas, and problem solving. Students offer constructive critique about the work of their fellow students in class. Research Project: Students utilize research and resource facilities to identify a specific artist whose work they respond to positively. Students analyze in written or oral form how their artist uses the elements and principles of drawing to contribute to this positive response. Students compare and contrast their artist s work with their own emerging style. Midterm and Final Critiques: Students will be required to orally present their finished drawing projects for review, discussing and evaluating their work and drawing experience using the vocabulary of art. Students will offer constructive critique to the presenter by asking questions and making comments regarding the work presented. Method of Evaluation/Grading: A level student work is characterized by consistent participation, characterized by drawing conscientiously every class session. Students demonstrate improvement in their technical and aesthetic abilities over the course of the semester. Students demonstrate a high level of technical proficiency using wet and dry drawing media. Students demonstrate a thorough understanding of the conventions of drawing and concepts of art making presented during the semester. Students identify, develop, and explore their own visual idea in sketchbook work, studies, and finished drawings. Students effectively apply their technical drawing skills to solve visual problems and in the development of their own visual ideas. Students research project is well researched and well written demonstrating a deep understanding of their subject and a compelling relationship between their subject and their own work. Students present their projects for critiques and explain and justify their drawing solutions. Participation during the critiques is active, energetic, and constructive for other students and uses the vocabulary of art effectively. Students turn in all the work done for the course at the midterm and the final (drawings must be finished). C level student work is characterized by less consistent participation and less thoughtful drawing during the class sessions. They work at a basic technical and aesthetic level and show moderate improvement. Students demonstrate only a basic understanding of the conventions of drawing and the concepts of art making presented during the semester. Their ability to identify, develop, and explore their own visual ideas is limited. Their sketchbook work, studies, and finished projects are inconsistent and their visual idea remains unfocused. Their visual problem solving skills are adequate, but lack creativity and a depth of understanding. Students research project is researched and written at a basic level demonstrating only a basic understanding of their subject and a superficial relationship between their subject and their own work. Students have some missing and/or unfinished work for the final critique. Their participation during the critique is limited.
