Art B1: Art Appreciation- FALL 2023 CRN # 74148 &74421 Asynchronous Online Instructor: Walter Meyer- walter.meyer@bakersfieldcollege.edu Office Hours: TUESDAYS 8-9am and by appointment Contact: Refer to this syllabus and Canvas to find information first and if you cannot find an answer feel free to contact me. You may reach me by e-mail, Canvas, and via a webconference during my office hours or by appointment. I am available to answer questions or help in any way. Please state your name and your class details in the subject line of your email. This will help me answer your questions in a timely manner. Course Description : Lecture course which presents a broad introduction to the visual arts from prehistory to the present. The role of art in the creation of world culture, as well as art processes and visual vocabulary are examined. Intended for non-art majors. Student Learning Outcomes- Upon completion of this course, students will: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the terminology and conventions of visual expression. 2. Analyze a work of art using formal analysis. 3. Demonstrate an understanding of art practices and methods within historical and cultural contexts. 4. Create an original work of art or project. 5. Recognize a portfolio or “body of work” Art Department Program Learning Objectives - Upon completion of an Art Department program, students will: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the principles, elements, and language of art/design. 2. Demonstrate the ability to critique their own work, as well as the work of other students; and defend their creative choices verbally. 3. Demonstrate an understanding of a portfolio or “body of work” My personal goals for you - I believe that Art History deals as much with history as with art and I therefore explore the different historical events, cultural contexts and philosophical beliefs when artworks are presented in the class. My interest in art history stems from its ability to act as a nexus and lens through which to understand and view past and present. I look at art as not only a receptor of cultural values but also a participant in the creation of culture. Just as we can see the influence of history and culture on artworks, we must think of how art promoted values and ideas. Within this course, I have four primary goals: 1) Gain Proficiency in reading visual language 2) Interpret, and interact w/ varieties of culture 3) Demonstrate ability to think and write critically about art and culture 4) Understand the various roles art plays in our society Textbook- Your textbook for this class is an Open Educational Resource (OER) which comes at no cost to you and is available to you digitally in our Canvas course and in the link below. Our bookstore will be offering you a printed version of this text which you will only need if you prefer to read on physical paper. If you don’t mind reading digitally the book is zero cost. A World Perspective of Art Appreciation (Gustlin and Gustlin) Art Materials - As Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) course you will not have to purchase materials for the assignments in this course unless you desire to. All assignments will allow you to use items typically available and that are not consumable. Technology Expectations- You will need a desktop or laptop computer to be successful in this course. The library computer lab will be open for student access all semester. If you need a computer please see link below for laptop rentals through Bakersfield College.

Such an act is not plagiarism if it is ascertained that the ideas were arrived at through independent reasoning or logic or where the thought or idea is common knowledge. Acknowledgement of an original author or source must be made through appropriate references, i.e., quotation marks, footnotes, or commentary. Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to, the following: If you are in doubt about the extent of acceptable paraphrasing consult the instructor.  the submission of a work, whether in part or in whole, completed by another;  failure to give credit for ideas, statements, facts or conclusions which rightfully belong to another;  in written work, failure to use quotations marks when quoting directly from another, whether it be a paragraph, a sentence, or even a part thereof;  close and lengthy paraphrasing of another’s writing or programming. In conducting your research, prepare your notes by (a) either quoting material exactly (using quotation marks) at the time you take notes from a source; or (b) departing completely from the language used in the source and putting the material into your own words. In this way, when the material is used in the paper or project, you can avoid plagiarism resulting from verbatim use of notes. Both quoted and paraphrased materials must be given proper citations. Definition of Cheating (KCCD Board Policy Appendix 4F7D) Cheating is defined as the act of obtaining, or attempting to obtain, or aiding another to obtain academic credit for work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Examples of cheating during an examination include, but

Art B1: Art Appreciation- FALL 2023 CRN # 74148 &74421 Asynchronous Online Instructor: Walter Meyer- walter.meyer@bakersfieldcollege.edu Office Hours: TUESDAYS 8-9am and by appointment are not limited to, the following: copying, either in part or in whole, from another’s test or examination; discussion of answers or ideas relating to the answers on an examination or test unless such discussion is specifically authorized by the instructor; giving or receiving copies of an examination without the permission of the instructor; using or displaying notes, “cheat sheets,” or other information or devices inappropriate to the prescribed test conditions, as when a test of competence includes a test of unassisted recall of information, skill, or procedure; allowing someone other than the officially enrolled student to represent the same. Also included are plagiarism as defined and altering or interfering with the grading procedures. It is often appropriate for students to study together or to work in teams on projects. However, be careful to avoid the use of unauthorized assistance, and avoid any implication of cheating, by such means as sitting apart from one another in examinations, presenting the work in a manner which clearly indicates the effort of each individual, or such other method as is appropriate to the particular course. If you are charged with cheating or plagiarism you are entitled to appeal that charge by means of the college’s Student Code of Conduct. For more information, visit the Student Conduct page. Source: BC Catalog NOTE FOR THIS COURSE: There are written requirements for this course. I encourage you to find and include material from your textbook and other outside sources, but these must be properly quoted, paraphrased, and cited. Failure to do this is considered plagiarism. Part of this class is to learn these skills, but using someone's writing as our own is not right and will not be tolerated. The first instance will result in a 0 grade for the assignment, any reoccurrences will result in disciplinary action and/or removal from the course. Please reach out with any questions. Expectations:  Have fun! I want us to see how the art that we are studying applies to the world we live in. Make it a game to notice things you see that relate and share them with the class  Class participation. This class will be more enjoyable if you ask questions and engage in the conversations. Discussions are an important way that you participate. The homework quizzes are another, and creating art that you submit images are all ways that you participate.  Put in the necessary time. It is expected that you spend approximately 2 hours outside of class on homework for every hour you are in class. Some students may need more or less time dependent on study habits. In an online class that means you should budget 10 hours a week.  Be respectful of the instructor, and your fellow students. You may be removed from class at your instructors’ discretion.  Everyone is welcome in this class, regardless of race, religion, disability and/or sexual orientation. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated.  Make friends in the class so that you can ask for feedback and help on assignments. There is a group assignment at the end, so it is good to get to know your peers before you pick your group.  Let me know if you are having challenges. Do this before it is a crisis if you can, and definitely do it before the last week of the course so that we can work together and put a plan together for your success!  You must do your own work.  Plagiarism and cheating are not tolerated and may result in a failing grade and/or expulsion from this class.
