points), its presentation (20 points), and your example of artwork (10 points): 100
points
4. Reflections (50 points):
 Keep daily nine chapter reflections (9 chapters and one article x 5 points = 50

6. Attendance and Class Etiquette (Read attendance and class etiquette policy

or paint something and clean the table if you make any marks. Please put your art
supplies back where you found them. Do not use large amounts of paper towels or
art supplies. Please save your paper scraps in a certain container for another use.
(Do not leave your artwork in the storage room of the class. I will check the room
on the last day of class to see who leaves his/her artwork. If you leave both your
artworks and private materials in the room, I will deduct 5 points for each item
from your total points.)

ADA Statement
Students with disabilities needing academic accommodations should: 1) register
with and provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC); 2)
bring a letter to the instructor from SDRC indicating that you need academic

Academic Honor Statement
The Academic Honor System of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is based on
the premise that each student has the responsibility: 1) to uphold the highest standards of
academic integrity in the student’s own work, 2) to refuse to tolerate violation of
academic integrity in the University community, and 3) to foster a high sense of integrity

and social responsibility on the part of the University community.
Required Textbook
Goldberg, M. (20012). Arts integration: Teaching subject matter through the arts in
multicultural settings (4th edition). Boston: Allyn and Bacon.
Supplies
The instructor will provide all supplies needed for each art project. For your
portfolio, you need a binder.
To Succeed in This Course You Should Know the Following:
Major art studio projects: There are THREE main studio projects that will be
introduced throughout the semester. All art projects are carefully selected and will
incorporate visual arts and other subjects that could easily be applied to your future
classroom. All three projects will require additional research on your part to achieve the
best possible quality. One late submission will cost you 5 points; two late submissions
will cost you 10 points. You need to complete your warm-up activity and submit this with
your artwork.
Your studio project should be worked on in the classroom. You must use full
class time to work on your project. I do not allow you to work on your projects outside of
class. Please bring in your materials and supplies from home. You cannot take your art
project home without prior approval.
Usually, we discuss and deal with the assigned reading during the first period of
class, and then you work on your art studio project during the second period of class. If
you leave early without my permission, you lose five points. If you finish your project
earlier than other students, you need to prepare your presentation, help other students, and
ask the instructor to check that your project meets all criteria.
Discussion leader: I ask you to sign up to be the discussion leader, who will be in
charge of class discussion, for one class period. The textbook includes thirteen chapters,
and we will discuss each chapter in the first period of class. All students must read each
chapter, especially those who have signed up to discuss that particular chapter in class.
Discussion leaders need to cover the following components in order to maintain quality
of discussion:
 Recap and summarize the chapter. (Please do not simplify this!)
 Share your prior knowledge and experiences that are associated with the ideas
of the chapter.
 Make a quality at least 20 PowerPoint presentation slides with visual images.
 Find out purposes or intentions of the author.
 Introduce and explain main ideas and concepts.
 Raise and ask significant questions.
 Discuss each idea, content, and concept from the chapter.
 Provide interesting at least two class activities that allow other students to
better understand the chapter.
 Listen to other students’ opinions very carefully and provide your feedback on
them.
 Share conclusions, findings, and final thoughts about the chapter with the
class.
 Discuss how the main concept can be applied to your future teaching.
 It MUST last at least 35minutes! If you don’t meet 30 minutes, I will reduce
3
FIVE points per minute.
Please submit your copy of PowerPoint slide and the assessment form after a presentation.
Participation: Your participation is one of the most significant factors of class
discussion. You cannot keep up with class discussion if you don’t read each chapter. I
strongly encourage you to share your ideas, thoughts and experiences during discussion.
In order to get a better quality of discussion you must read the assigned chapter(s)
accordingly. Your notes or doodles may help you remember what you read and think.
You need to type a one-page summary for each chapter with your thoughts and
reflections; this should be kept in your folder. Please remember, you learn not only from
the professor but from your classmates as well. The class discussion will not finish until
each student says something about the assigned reading. I encourage you to speak your
thoughts at least three times a day.
Writing about Teaching Ideas of Visual Arts: You need to write your teaching
ideas about visual arts with other subject matters. Your paper will be applied to your
future classroom. You describe your teaching ideas that could be incorporated with what
you learned from the course. You need to share your ideas with classmates. Your paper
must be applied three ideas: learning with, through, and about visual arts. You also must
make your example of artwork. Your small presentation with PowerPoint slides should
last at least 10 minutes.
Reflections and daily note taking: It can be your useful reference in the future.
Please keep your daily notes, chapter reflections (55 percent for a summary of the chapter
and 45 percent for your critical thoughts about the chapter), warm-ups and guidelines of
studio art projects that you get from both D2L and the instructor, your artworks, notes,
and your reflections―whatever is relative to this course―in your folder.
D2L: I post any documents and evaluation forms that will be used in this course
on D2L. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I
would like to meet with you during my office hours and by appointment. If you have any
questions, please send an e-mail, give a call, or come by my office. As you know, mutual
communication is the best way to solve problems and a key for success in the course.
Please keep your due day. Keeping your due day is a key for succeeding in your
profession as well as in this course. There is no excuse for late submissions. I deduct 10
points for a late submission. Please check the attached calendar.
