Course Description: Art History, 103B, Renaissance (14th century) through the 20th century is required for all Art, Graphic Design and Interior Design majors for the A.A. degree and satisfies transfer requirements for the U.C. & CSU campuses. This course satisfies the General Education, Humanities, Fine Arts, and Cultural Diversity requirement for all A.A. degree students. Course material is a survey of visual arts from 1300-2000 CE. It includes the arts of Africa, Asia, Native America, Mexico, and Latin America during these periods.
Student Performance Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the students will:
1. Identify major contributions to the visual art created between the 14th and 21st centuries through an analysis of the social, cultural, technological and economic forces that have molded art and artists.
2. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the formal, symbolic and contextual qualities that define Western and non-western arts from the Renaissance through the Present.
3 Contrast and compare cultures regarding the themes of religion, philosophy, social movement, and politics in order to identify the contributions of historically underrepresented cultures or perspectives from other groups to the development of the societies and institutions in the United States of America.CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION:
Class will be primarily interactive lectures based on the assigned readings and projected slides. Occasionally we will be viewing video tapes. Homework is primarily reading from the textbooks; However, from time to time you will be asked to go to the library and read an article or a text I have placed on reserve or to use the internet. A big part of your grade will be based on class participation and attendance.
There is an internet site created for your benefit at : |

A tentative calendar/schedule will be provided with this greensheet; however, there will be times when the schedule will need to be adjusted.Attendance is mandatory and attendance will be taken.
You will be responsible for writing some short essay answers and or several work sheets. All your work will be your own.Every absence lowers your class participation grade 3%. Please note that this is significant because it comprises 30% of your over all grade. If you miss 4 classes consecutively you will either fail or be dropped from the class. A lateness is worth a half absence but I lock the doors after the first week once I begin lecturing. Please do not knock or attempt to come in. Late Work
Writing essays is a major component of this class. If you are frightened or have problems with writing I will personally tutor you or provide you with resources. However, my standards are very high in terms of writing. Papers with spelling errors and poor grammar will not be graded until all the problems have been fixed by you. All work must be typewritten except for the fill in sections on worksheets.Late work will be marked down a letter grade every class meeting. If you are late to class it is late. You may not e-mail assignments to me unless we have discussed it and I have given you permission in advance of the due date. EXAMINATIONS & QUIZZES:
MAKE UP EXAMS AND GRADE IMPROVEMENT:There will be three exams and several pop quizzes based on the readings. Notes and textbooks may not be used during examinations. Missed quizzes and exams will be calculated as zeros.
Make up exams are only available in one of two instances: to those students who have made provisions to take the exams in advance of the test date or if a student has a signed medical excuse. In general a makeup exam will be different than the original exam and will take the same amount of time to complete as the original. There is extra credit which will replace a score you have earned on a similar assignment..Student Materials-Means of Achieving Objectives:
