Scope of course Art History 1DV: Arts of Asia surveys the visual arts and cultures related to the major belief systems of India, China, and Japan. We also discuss objects made in various parts of the contemporary Asian Diaspora, their place in art and cultural history, and the critical ideas they represent. Teaching method Although the title of AHI 1DV (Virtual) has “virtual” in it, there is nothing virtual about the learning or instruction in this course. AHI 1DV utilizes a hybrid teaching method: students study lectures online, and meet with the instructor once a week for lecture/discussion to clarify course content. Students also meet with their TAs for discussion sections once a week to discuss homework assignments, study and writing skills, and examination preparation. Participation in each of these meetings is mandatory. Art History 1DV: Arts of Asia (Virtual), Fall 2011 Preliminary syllabus 2 Benefits of the hybrid online teaching method Comparative studies of AHI 1D and 1DV courses demonstrate that students learn more thoroughly and their grades are higher in AHI 1DV than in the conventionally taught course. As an equal opportunity grader, I want all students to succeed. I have done my utmost to create a course that enhances this possibility. You take responsibility for your learning to rapidly own the information. You study the online lectures at your own pace, and review lectures as often as you wish. No more falling asleep in a darkened room while the professor is talking! No more missing that crucial piece of new information while furiously scribbling illegible notes about what the professor previously said! No more missing lecture content because of distractions of class hubbub, another student, or daydreams! You study the images while listening to the online lectures. At the same time, you may also choose to read the lectures online. This is useful for everyone, but has special benefits to those of you who are new to art history and/or Asian studies for whom the vocabulary and concepts are new, those with hearing problems, and those who are ESL learners. Because of the lecture/discussion set-up, you have more individual contact time with the professor than in the conventionally taught course. Come prepared! This is a 5-unit course, earning you GE credit in ArtHum and Diversity. During the lecture/discussion meetings with the professor, you will often subdivide into small groups to discuss the online material and assigned readings, and then share your findings with the class. You may consult your notes and Course Reader to answer questions. In TA Sections, you will use your completed homework assignments as a basis for class discussion. You will learn the special skills necessary to think and talk about art and art history. You will practice writing structuring essays and taking art history exams. The emphasis of this hybrid method is on active learning, not passive listening. In both lecture/discussion and discussion sections, please come prepared to participate. This will help you clarify and solidify your understanding of the material. Course goals Students will attain the rudiments of visual literacy in the arts of Asia, and learn the basic skills of stylistic analysis. Students will learn interpretive strategies that can reveal cultural ideas and ideals as manifested in visual form, and discover how these disparate factors Art History 1DV: Arts of Asia (Virtual), Fall 2011 Preliminary syllabus 3 relate to their historical contexts. Critical thinking skills will be honed through discussions, written homework assignments, and examination essays. Discussion sections with TAs Participation in discussion sections is required of all students, and affects an important component of the course grade. All homework assignments will be typed and submitted to TAs during discussion sections. A brush workshop will be held in discussion sections during the seventh week of class. Please wear an apron or clothes that can be stained, and bring Sumi paper, newspaper, and a small jar for water. Brushes and other materials for the workshop will be distributed for use in this section. Interested students may also check out these supplies from the Visual Resources Facility (VRF, located in Everson 163 and 165) free of charge at any time. Email The syllabus, object lists, announcements, and other important information are issued on our course SmartSite. Other important information will be disseminated from time to time by email to the class listserve. Therefore, students are required to actively monitor the SmartSite website and their email for this course. Messages to the class listserve will be archived so students may access these messages whenever desired. Students who have problems with their email should regularly check this archive for messages they may have missed. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the University with their correct and active email account if it differs from the assigned ucdavis.edu account. To do this, students must send the request to postmaster@ucdavis.edu and include the following information in the email: full name, student ID number, campus mail ID, email address students wish their mail ID to point to. Please allow at least two days for the request to be processed. Please do not include student password; it is not needed. Any questions about this process, please contact postmaster@ucdavis.edu. Course grade 5% Quizzes. Quizzes and pop quizzes may be given in lectures and/or discussion sections. 10% Active participation in discussion sections will earn 10% of the course grade. You must attend the same discussion section each week. Grading for this component will be Pass/No Pass.
