CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
This class covers the aesthetic and physical process of making a sculpture in the environment. Students will actually make a permanent work of art as a group project(s). Selection of appropriate materials and site will be emphasized, as well as structural engineering and creative design.
NOTE: Course may be repeated to a total of 3.0 units.
COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES: List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate some of them in terms of specific measurable student accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills to be attained as a result of completing this course. For degree-applicable courses, include objectives in the area of “critical thinking.” Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: have the ability to select materials, tools and site to create and construct a permanent outdoor sculpture.
Students will be introduced to the theory and practice of three dimensional design elements and principles. Also, students will be able to create sculptural forms from theoretical models.

No. Request for Exception Attached
If no text or a below college level text is used in a degree applicable course must have a minimum of one response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category 1 is not checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade.
1. Substantial writing assignments, including:
essay exam(s) term or other paper(s)
written homework reading report(s)
laboratory report(s)
other (specify) _____
If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate because:
The course is primarily computational in nature.
The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
Other rationale (explain) __________________________________________
2. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including:
quizzes
field work
homework problems
other (specify)_______
exam(s)
laboratory report(s)
3. Skill demonstrations, including:
class performance(s)

REQUIRED READING, WRITING, AND OTHER OUTSIDE OF CLASS ASSIGNMENTS:
11/9/07
Over an 18-week presentation of the course, 3 hours per week are required for each unit of credit. ALL
Degree Applicable Credit classes must treat subject matter with a scope and intensity which require the student to study outside of class. Two hours of independent work done out of class are required for each hour of lecture. Lab and activity classes must also require some outside of class work. Outside of the regular class time the students in this class will be doing the following:
Study
Answer questions
Skill practice
Required reading
Problem solving activity or exercise
Written work (essays/compositions/report/analysis/research)
Journal (reaction and evaluation of class, done on a continuing basis throughout the semester)
Observation of or participation in an activity related to course content (e.g., play, museum, concert, debate, meeting, etc.)
Field trips
Other (specify) ____________________________
COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for non-degree applicable courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
Students must select proper materials and tools to complete project(s). Students must effectively structure project(s) using principles and elements of art such as: color, line, etc. Students must formulate ideas and emotional standpoints to clearly express themselves.

REQUEST FOR EXCEPTION
The Curriculum Committee is authorized to determine the appropriateness of entrance skills and requisites for any given course; to determine whether or not language and/or computational skills at the associate degree level are essential to success in a given course; to determine what is college level in learning skills, vocabulary, and in the ability to think critically and apply concepts; and to determine on a case-by-case basis when any departure from the attached guidelines may be justified.
This form may also be used to provide justification for making a course repeatable.
To request an exception, provide the following information:

NATURE OF THE EXCEPTION REQUESTED AND RATIONALE: TEXT
This course is 1/4 lecture and 3/4 lab. Since this is mostly an activity course of a specific area in art, there are no texts which deal extensively with this area. The only texts that cover this area in detail are larger expensive general sculpture texts. Since students must supply their own art supplies, the cost of such a text would be too great.
NATURE OF THE EXCEPTION REQUESTED AND RATIONALE: REPEATABILITY
Repeatability justified since course content differs each time it is offered and skills or proficiencies are enhanced by supervised repetition and practice within class periods.
