Michael Ritchie deliverables AR121
1. General Education Objectives
a. Integrate knowledge and skills in their program of study
b. Apply aesthetic and intellectual criteria in the evaluation
or creation of works in the humanities or the arts
c. Differentiate and make informed decisions about issues
based on multiple value systems
Learning outcomes
Creation
a. Students will create a grid or design unit
using a repeated pattern
b. Through their artwork, students will demonstrate their ability
to measure accurate layout dimensions with right
angles and clean lines
c. Students will cut or paint units of similar size
and shape to construct part of their design
that demonstrates principles of repetition and unity
d. Students will transform, synthesize, or connect ideas or
solutions to create a whole design from disparate parts.
Analysis
e. Students will critique their own work and the work of other students
Assessment rubric Attached separately
2. Student assignment
In one version of the student assignment,
the design consists of 9 panels in checkerboard format.
a. Each panel is related to the others in shape and color
with each panel a separate design entity.
b. Each panel has a maximum of
c. 6 colors including background.
d. To insure variety and unity of design,
shapes must be repeated, enlarged, reduced, rotated, and reversed.
e. Shapes must also be cropped by the margins and
overlapped by other shapes.
f. Colors must be distributed evenly through the total design.
3. Assessment Quiz
Draw 6 rectangles of the following dimensions.
Two 1x2 inches, 3x2 inches, two 4x3 inches and 4x4 inches
This quiz and similar ones are done periodically to
assess students’ ability to measure accurately.

Section A Creation.
Category 1 (Ability to measure accurately)
A quiz using rulers was given to check measuring accuracy.
Each project is graded on accuracy of measurements
Many students cannot measure using eighths and
quarter inches after repeated attempts.
Many cannot create proper right angles.

Category 2 (Neat edges with thorough cutting and gluing)
Some have difficulty with cutting and gluing leaving irregular rough edges.

Category 3 (principles of repetition and unity)
This causes cause problems with some.
Students are told to repeat, enlarge and reduce shapes to
create repetition and unity in a design. Many simply repeat
the directions without little or no sense of design.

Category 4 (transform, synthesize, or connect)
Many have problems creating a complete design utilizing the
visual material required in the beginning of the assignment.
Many have difficulty fulfilling the requirements of the assignment

Section B
Category 5 (Analysis)
Many students do not take part in the critiques.
Some have problems since English is a second language..
Many have difficulty using proper terminology describing artwork.

Action Plan
We will institute the following:
• Students will be given low intensity papers
to write in class during critiques.
This will allow us to get feedback from everyone.
• Students will be quizzed regularly on use of terminology
• Students will be given short low intensity quizzes
using rulers and right angles.
• Students will be shown more design by famous artists and designers.
