Specify how the Course Objectives for this course align with the academic program assessment plan:
Create and exhibit an independent body of work: The creation of an independent body of work encompasses Objectives 1-4 of the BFA in Visual Art.
Analyze and develop work through critique: Analyzing work encompasses Objectives 2-5.
Engage in the discipline through studio practice: Engagement with the discipline encompasses Objectives 3-5.
Objective 1 addresses the technical mastery of skills necessary to find success in the arts. An independent body of work will not happen without a mastery of artistic skills. Objective 2 addresses a critical understanding of art theory. In order to create a thorough body of work a student must understand their place within the history of the medium, as well as their place with in the contemporary art market. Objective 3 addresses agility in and the mastery of various creative methodologies. The purpose of an independent body of work is to showcase a students ability to merge critical thinking with creative output. This can take form in a variety of ways that includes, but is not limited to the artist statement, presentation about the work, performance, installation, or exhibition of a single piece. Objective 4 prepares the students to become creative professionals. The exhibition of a single body of work is the culmination of the professional experience. All creative professionals, or working artists, are expected to showcase large bodies of work in a variety of settings. This is standard practice for the profession. Objective 5 addresses the students ability to demonstrate their ability to build a diverse and productive atmosphere that respects a culture of intellectual transformation the education about and practice of visual communication. Successful artists have the ability to synthesize an idea through visual communication. These ideas are meant to not only push the viewer, but push the artist as well.
Specify how the Student Learning Outcomes for this course align with the academic program assessment plan:
The student learning outcomes fall in line with our standard assessment plan for the visual arts. The Department of Visual Arts has been piloting a new assessment procedure that embodies the outcomes listed in the course. This assessment addresses the technical mastery of skill, oral presentation skills, technical presentation of work, and the ability to critique their personal work, as well as the work of their peers. The assessment plan for ARTS 498 will be linked with a new assessment protocol for our foundations that will be launched in AY 2020
