“Redefine the Possible”
Catalog Description: Intended for students who are preparing to become elementary school teachers in California, providing subject matter study in art appropriate for grades 1-6. Students will learn the components and strands of visual arts education found in the California Visual and
Performing Arts Framework. Students will explore five major areas: artistic perception, creative expression, historical and cultural contexts, aesthetic valuing, and the connections and relationships between the visual arts and other disciplines.
Prerequisite: Upper division status; declared major or minor in Art, or a declared major in Child
Development, or Liberal Studies, or Blended Liberal Studies
Lab Fee Required ($20.00): When a student registers for a class requiring a course fee, the charge will appear on her/his MySacState student account. If s/he drops the class by Census
Date ( 2/19/16 ), the fee will be reversed. Lab fees can be paid online, in person, or by mail. The student will not be dropped from a class due to non-payment of course fees; however, financial services will put holds on records after Census Date for any unpaid course fees. The hold will prevent the student from registering for future semesters and getting transcripts and diplomas.
When an overdue course fee is paid, the hold will automatically be removed from the student’s record. For questions about holds, go to the Admissions and Records Counter (first floor, Lassen
Hall).

Learning Objectives: During the 20 th
century, many educators assessed students’ ability to remember information—a lower order thinking skill. With help from Bloom’s (n.d.) new taxonomy, educators now recognize creating, evaluating, analyzing, applying, and understanding as better capturing students’ cognitive abilities. According to Friedman (2005) and Pink (2006), developing these higher order thinking skills is necessary for those interested in advancing education, citizenry, and globalization in the 21 st
century.
By the end of the course, the student will be able to . . .
1.
create an online, digital portfolio to hold visual and written text.
2.
create artworks that express thoughtful, well-crafted adaptations as well as concepts, media, and problem-solving techniques. (C1-A, B, C, E)
3.
understand course readings, and analyze new knowledge via concise research papers. (C1-A,
C, D)
4.
create and apply a lesson plan beside ART 133 peers with elementary learners in mind. (C1-
A, B, C, D, E)
5.
evaluate her/his class preparation and participation.

Adding
Course Registration, Spring 2016
During the first two weeks of the semester, when students still are able to register for courses on-line through the Student Center on
MySacState, almost all Art courses only can be added by speaking directly to the instructor, who
Dropping
Jan. 25-Feb. 5:
S tudents can drop Art courses on-line via
MySacState, without seeking permission from the instructor, during this period.
Feb. 8-
19: After being signed by the instructor and department chair, drop petition forms will be processed in the
Department office. No "W" grade will be recorded. If students withdraw from a course after Census Date, they will get a "W" will use a departmental form to add students on a space-available basis (Art courses will be closed to computer-registration whether or not they are full).
Feb. 8
-
19: A University petition form, signed by the instructor and the department chair, will be required to add any Spring semester course. These forms are available on the Registrar’s website
( http://www.csus.edu/registrar/forms/index.html
) and in the Art office, where they will be processed.
After Feb. 19: Census Date, is the last day to add any classes ( adds will be permitted after Feb.
19 only if students can show that University error prevented their timely registration ). on their academic record. Because there is a limit to the number of "W" grades any student can earn, it is better to drop a course by Feb. 19.
Feb. 20: Effective this date, drop petitions (signed by both the instructor and department chair) must have written documentation attached and will be processed at the
University Registrar's office in Lassen Hall (room 2000, second floor). The student is responsible for taking the signed form to the Registrar’s office.
March 7: Effective this date, drop petitions also must be approved by the College Dean and require more documentation of the serious reasons for withdrawing from the course. The student is responsible for taking the signed form to the Registrar’s office.
Apr. 22: No course withdrawals will be allowed after this date except in very special circumstances.
“Instructors have the right to administratively remove any student who, during the first two weeks of instruction, fails to attend any two class meetings (for courses that meet two or more times a week) , or one class meeting (for courses that meet once a week).” ( quoted from the Registrar’s website )

Academic Integrity: Academic honesty is central to the principles of a university. Any incident of academic dishonesty will be forwarded to the Office of Student Affairs, per university policy, for disciplinary action. Academic dishonesty may impact both the course grade and enrollment status. If a student has any questions regarding academic dishonesty, s/he should check with me and/or click here: http://catalog.csus.edu/14-16/first%20100%20pages/academicpolicies.html
All of the following are examples of plagiarism: (a) turning in another’s work as your own, (b) copying words or ideas from another without giving credit, (c) failing to put a direct quote in quotation marks, (d) giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation, and (e) changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit. For more, see here: http://library.csus.edu/default2.asp%3FpageID=353.html
Personal Expectations:
1.
Submit professional written work—proofread for clarity, coherence/organization, unity, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
2.
Form an accountability partnership. This person is responsible for taking notes for you and collecting any materials if you are absent. However, you—not your partner—are responsible for turning in all required assignments by the day due.
Name: _________________________________________________
Phone number(s): _______________________________________
Email: _________________________________________________
3.
Cell phones should be turned off and out of sight during class, as they are distracting
( exception : cell phone usage is allowed and encouraged during studio time to be used as a reference and for photography). If there is an emergency, keep your phone on silent mode, and slip out of the room to answer if necessary.
4.
This is a 3 credit-hour “upper division status” course; there is a heavy reading and writing load. Make sure to provide enough time to read articles and book chapters and to complete all assignments thoughtfully and thoroughly. Comprehension of content with quality of thought should be evident in all course assignments and class participation.
5.
Please turn in assignments at the beginning of class on due dates. I will not consider late submission of any assignment without prior written notification and documentation. I will assess your request, and respond with a written reply. You will need to submit a copy of our written dialogue with the late assignment. It is likely that you will not receive the full grade value when turning in a late assignment.
6.
Back up all work frequently (i.e., use a flash/thumb drive or the “cloud,” email assignments to yourself, and/or use an external hard drive); computers are not always reliable.
7.
Participate with classmates, make a positive contribution to the group, engage others in insightful and informed questions/comments, and listen with attentive respect.
8.
Professionalism is essential in peer <-> peer and student <-> instructor interaction.
Maintaining high professional standards in class and at all field sites is critical for success in this course. The instructor reserves the right to deduct participation points from a student’s grade who does not act as a professional pre-service teacher. Students are expected to demonstrate a professional attitude and behavior at all times by being punctual, attending all class meetings, participating 100% in and contributing to class activities, accepting responsibility, and remaining academically honest.

Academic Support: The University offers various avenues for academic support. For general information, go to the Peer and Academic Resources Center
( http://www.csus.edu/parc/index.html
). If your reading and writing skills need attention, please go to the University Reading and Writing Center ( http://www.csus.edu/writingcenter/ ). If you have a disability and require accommodations, you need to provide disability documentation to
SSWD, Lassen Hall 1008, (916) 278-6955. Please discuss your accommodation needs with me after class or during my office hours early in the semester.
Victim Support : Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender are Civil Rights offenses subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to offenses against other protected categories such as race, national origin, etc. If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you can find important resources here: http://www.csus.edu/titleix/
Learning Engagements:
1.
Digital Portfolio: Students will maintain a personal portfolio to hold written and studio assignments. Studio Investigations: Throughout the semester, students will participate in studio art activities in and out of class.
Students will collect these creative expressions and reflections, and connect them to future teaching. Works should express creative, thoughtful, well-crafted adaptations as well as concepts, media, and problem-solving techniques presented by the instructor and classmates.
2.
Unit Paper: Students will turn in a one-page double-spaced synthesis and adaptation paper of each Unit inclusive of one to two sources from article and book chapter readings.
Students should format the paper, citations, paraphrases, references (provided at end of syllabus), and so forth using APA 6 th
edition. Learn more at the Purdue OWL website
( https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ ).
Synthesis (~one paragraph): report an overview of the Big Idea and related 21 st
Century
Approaches by synthesizing information from at least two sources.
Adaptation (~one paragraph): discuss the ways in which you might adapt the content learned during this unit for use with a young population.
3.
Lesson Plan: Student groups will create one 100 minute Lesson Plan to present to ART 133 peers with elementary learners in mind. The instructor will design and blend these groups
(i.e., major or minor in Art, major in Child Development, major in Liberal Studies, and/or
Blended Liberal Studies) to simulate a team-teaching experience in a school or community setting. Students will be responsible for all components of the Lesson Plan to include:
choosing one Big Idea to guide the lesson
incorporating one or more 21 st Century Art Education Approaches (e.g., meaning making, visual culture, social justice, visual thinking strategies, holistic, choice-based, learner-directed, standards-based)
assigning either one article or book chapter to complement the 21 st
Century Art
Education Approach (review reference lists from coruse readings) with opportunities for
“assessing” learning via creating, evaluating, analyzing, applying, and/or understanding
designing “chunked” and varied educational activities, including a brief studio activity and demonstration, with diverse learners in mind
integrating visual art, literacy, math, technology, and/or other disciplines
managing time and transitions responsibly

4.
Class Preparation and Participation: This course requires active learning, discussing, and making where each student’s full engagement is essential for success. Therefore, students are expected to complete all assigned readings and writing before each class period, and to come to class ready to participate fully, knowledgeably, and insightfully. Please bring the articles and book chapters with notes to class on Discussion days.
Attendance is not only valued but expected for every class period. There are not opportunities to “make-up” missed class lectures, group discussions, or in class assignments/studios. Unavoidable absences due to illness, family emergency, or
University-sanctioned activities should be communicated to the course instructor before class time ; two (2) such absences will be accepted. Additional absences will result in percentage point deductions from the student’s Preparation and Participation grade.
Think in terms of the professionalism that will be expected as an employed educator.
Come to each class on time and stay the entire duration. Our class will begin on time.
Three or more late arrivals/early departures will count as one absence.
5.
Memos: Students will submit four (4) instructor-assigned and six (6) peer-assigned Memos throughout the semester. The Memos should:
include the student’s name and date on the top left corner.
be handwritten (in legible ink)* or typed (double-spaced).
be a half- to full-page in length.
synthesize concepts and content learned from most recent readings, lectures, links, viewings etc.
* Illegible memos or those written in pencil will not be accepted.
Evaluation of Learning Engagements: Your course grade will be a result of careful evaluation of each assignment as well as intellectual, active, and creative engagement in class. Please make an appointment to discuss in person your academic standing and progress in the course , as I will not discuss grades or evaluation of your work before or after class (in our classroom) or over email.
Resubmissions: If I think there has been a misunderstanding about the assignment expectations,
I will talk with you about a possible resubmission, and will discuss with you expectations for the resubmission. With that in mind, it is crucial that you carefully read assignment handouts as well as take detailed notes in class when we discuss assignments. A resubmission does not ensure full-credit for the assignment.
