COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Art 3401--American Art Visions--is an appreciation and history of American Art, primarily paintings, sculpture, and some architecture, from the very beginnings of the "New Founde Land" to the present day. This is an on-line telecourse, which includes instruction provided via videotapes. You will obtain the videotapes (either two or all-on-one) from the CSU library circulation desk. You are required to attend the Orientation meeting and all three exam sessions, on campus at the designated times (See "Important Dates," above, or on the Online "DUCK"). You will also be required to go to the High Museum at some point during the semester, to write up a special analysis of an American work of art on display there; I will explain that to you at the required Orientation session. NOTE: The High Museum will probably cost from $6 to $15 with student I.D., so you need to figure that in as part of your course expenses. In addition, I have scheduled three test review sessions, one before each test, as indicated, once again, both below and in CSU's Online "DUCK." Although the Schedule indicates that the review sessions are optional, if one is smart, he or she will attend ALL of those. Since they only last around an hour and thirty minutes, these sessions do not cover all the material on the test; that would be impossible in that limited time. However, I do give you important tips, practice questions, a quickie review, and discuss the Powerpoint Study Slides with you--besides answering any questions--that have ALWAYS proven extremely valuable for success on the exams. Normally, a student does poorly on exams if he or she doesn't attend those review sessions.
And on-line telecourses tend to be much more of a challenge
than normal class-room courses, anyway.
In selecting an on-line telecourse approach to learning the
course material, you have decided that a basically independent
study approach will work well for you in your present situation.
To be successful, you will have to exercise truly extraordinary
self-discipline, since you will be learning pretty much on your
own, outside of the traditional college classroom environment.
The instructor will be available to advise and assist you, even
chat with you on-line, but you must pace and motivate yourself--using
the course outline in this syllabus--and watch ALL the telecourse
lessons, study ALL the assigned textbook readings, and study all the
slides I have provided for you on-line with my Powerpoint
Presentation Review Slides.
This approach does give you a lot of freedom
to study when you choose; however, as we pointed out, it also
requires an unusual amount of self-discipline and
self-motivation. Keep in mind that, typically, a student must
devote around 15 hours a week or more, watching telecourse
lessons, reading assignments, using the chat room (if you wish),
and studying slides for the three exams, in order to earn an
acceptable grade. As you can see, I have provided many helpful
resources for you; it is up to you, to use them.
POWERPOINT PRESENTATION REVIEW SITES:
IMPORTANT: To view the Powerpoint Presentation Review Slides, you must
use a log-in and a password. You will be given these passwords at our
Orientation meeting, since only students signed up for this class are legally
allowed to use them.
CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
ART 3401 - American Art Visions (3-0-3)
A survey of American Art from the foundation of American identity
within the New World-Colonial era, through the mulitple tends and
identities of Modern America. Prerequisites: ENGL 1102.
Completion of CRIT 1101 and Area C recommended.
ITP CHOICE POLICY:
Each CSU student is required to have ready access throughout
the semester to a notebook computer that meets faculty-approved
hardware and software requirements for the student's academic
program. See http://itpchoice.clayton.edu
for full details of this policy. Also, you MUST obtain the CSU e-mail
address mailbox, so that you receive the important messages that I will be
sending you during the course of the semester. These messages will be sent
ONLY to your CSU e-mail address. You will be responsible for knowing the
information sent in these e-mail messages, in any case. Saying you didn't
check your e-mail will not count as an excuse.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:
One objective of the course will be to acquaint you with American Art and its relationship to society. As our textbook author points out, "the intense relationship between the American people and their surroundings has been the source of a rich artistic tradition." And there are many exciting and often surprising ways in which "artists have expressed this pervasive connection." We will study painting, sculpture, and architecture in regard to their visual meanings, merits, and value as expressions of society--and expressions of individual artists functioning in this multi-cultural society of America.
REQUIREMENTS:
FIRST EXAM: 100 Points
SECOND EXAM: 100 Points
THIRD EXAM (Final Exam, but not comprehensive): 100 Points
ANALYSIS OF AMERICAN ART WORK (Must Be on Display, NOW, in the
High Museum): 50 Points
____________________________________________________
TOTAL: 350 Points
GRADING SCALE:
Course grades will be determined on the basis of a straight 350 point scale, with a final distribution of points equaling the grades listed below:
A = 315 - 350
B = 280 - 314
C = 245 - 279
D = 210 - 244
F = 209 or fewer points
This is based on the traditional percentages of...
90% - 100% = A
80% - 89% = B
70% - 79% = C
60% - 69% = D
59% or below = F
MUSEUM PAPER:
This will be a typed (double-spaced) analysis of an American work of art, currently on display at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. (IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE AN AMERICAN WORK IN THE HIGH, THE PAPER WILL RECEIVE A ZERO). Therefore, you are required to go to the High Museum one day this semester to pick a work of American art and to analyze it. I will also let you know a date when I will be there to help you and to explain works to you, if you choose to come on that day. Tentatively, that date is Sunday, February 18, at 2:30pm, meeting at the High. (Plan to get there half an hour to an hour early, to give you time for parking, buying your ticket, and possibly standing in line. I will be waiting for you just inside the atrium area.) Please remember: the High Museum will cost around $6 to $12 per adult with student I.D. discount; so you will need to figure on that as part of your course expenses. SAVE YOUR STICKER/RECEIPT! You must attach that to your museum paper.
In your analysis, you will be required to discuss the meaning(s) of the work, including an examination and discussion--at length--of all symbols, colors, objects, and similar "tools" that the artist uses to communicate to us. At the Orientation Meeting, I will give you packets so you will know what to look for and write about. MOST IMPORTANT, YOU WILL DO THIS BY ANALYZING THE INDIVIDUAL, SPECIFIC WORK OF ART IN THE HIGH, USING CSU'S FIVE AESTHETIC CRITERIA, WHICH WE WILL DISCUSS DURING THE ORIENTATION. 75% of the paper's grade will be based on the Aesthetic Criteria; 25% of the paper's grade will be based on CSU's Writing Criteria, including following all the directions presented here, in this syllabus. (As I will explain at the Orientation, for Criterion #2, you will also need to compare your painting, detail by detail, to another work of art either in the Museum or in our book, or include a picture of that comparison art work.)
Secondly, you will need to directly connect the work with a
specific period, such as Romanticism or Neo-classicism, as
discussed in your textbook. You will need to discuss at length
exactly how it fits into that period and that specific section of
the Hughes book. You MUST find and give the page numbers of references from the
Hughes book
(in reference to this period of art, at least, if not to the specific artist) and use
quotation marks, as needed. Parenthetical footnoting in the body of the
paper and a separate "Works
Cited" page are therefore required. This, of course, goes for any other
books, articles, or email sources you use, as well--whether you quote them or
even paraphrase and just use their ideas. Anything else is plagiarism and
will result in an "F" on the paper and possibly in the class, if the
instructor judges the case serious enough. Further penalties may be imposed by
the University. (Keep in mind that you can not "cite" works
on your "Works Cited" page unless you have already cited them with
embedded footnotes in the text of your paper.) Use the MLA Style of
documentation. My homepage also contains a link
to both "documentation form" and to the library's art homepage, which
includes information about books we own that relate to artists in the High
Museum.
In that regard, again, please beware of "plagiarism." As you know by
now, "plagiarism" refers to one using anyone else's
words or ideas--even just their ideas--without giving them full credit each and every
time. Any of that stuff will result in an "F." Or
worse. (Other examples of plagiarism include copying ideas--even
with different wording--from an art encyclopedia, an art catalog,
a "model" paper, another student's paper, and so on.) Note: CCSU is
taking a hard view on plagiarism and resultant penalties. Significant
plagiarism on a paper now results in an "F" for the course and
whatever additional penalties the University finds appropriate. REMEMBER
TO DO THOSE PARENTHETICAL FOOTNOTES AND THAT "WORKS CITED" PAGE!
And ANY phrases or words copied from another source MUST be put within quotation
marks.
You should try to find a postcard in the High or a photo on the internet, or take your own photo at the High, to illustrate the paper. As well, the High Museum website also contains pictures that may be downloaded. Also, you must include your sticker from the High, on your paper, documenting your going there. Your paper must be typed and double-spaced.
If you have ANY further question, after our orientation discussion and the other resources, of what I am looking for in the paper, it is your obligation to talk to me. I am available to you, by e-mail, telephone, and posted office hours. That does mean not procrastinating till the last minute, of course... I have also placed copies of a past successful museum paper on reserve behind the desk in the library. The only thing missing from it are the references you make to our specific textbook (discussed above). I also have on reserve booklets that explain various "aesthetic elements" that I and Hughes discuss and that you should refer to.
THE PAPER MUST BE AT LEAST THREE TO FOUR TYPED PAGES LONG. (SHORTER WILL BE PENALIZED.) IT WILL BE DUE NO LATER THAN MONDAY, NOVEMBER 10, in my mailbox in A & S (G) 110, by 7 pm. Plan your time accordingly so that you can get a hard copy in my mailbox by that time. LATE PAPERS WILL LOSE -10% FOR EACH UNEXCUSED DAY LATE (i.e., one letter grade lower for each day late). Even with the -10% per day penalty, absolutely no paper will be accepted after Tuesday, November 18, at 7 pm.
FORMAT:
Classes meet seven times on campus. Specific dates and times are listed both
in the Fall Schedule and below, in the REQUIRED
ASSIGNMENTS section. We have the required Orientation meeting
first, on either Sat, Aug. 16, 11am-12:30pm, U267, OR Sat,
Aug 23, 11am-12:30pm, U267. Attending one of the
two orientation meetings at the times and dates listed is REQUIRED,
as are the three exam meetings. You MUST attend all three exam
sessions at the dates and times listed below and in the Fall DUCK Schedule. Before each test, we will have a Review
Session. Although the Spring DUCK Schedule lists the Review Sessions as
optional, I highly recommend you attend these. People who don't
attend the Review Sessions tend to do very poorly on the tests.
Although it is impossible to cover all that will be on the test
in those hour and thirty minute sessions, I give you important
tips, a quickie review, practice questions, answer questions, and
I discuss the Powerpoint Presentation Slides. This will give you
a great deal of help in knowing whether you are studying enough
and what sorts or questions will be on the test. As you view the
telecourse lessons, read the materials in the text and study the
slides, please note any questions that you may want answered
during our review sessions.
*YOU MAY BRING A SELF-ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE TO EACH EXAM, SO
THAT I MAY MAIL YOU YOUR EXAM RESULTS. WE ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO EMAIL THEM OR
GIVE THEM OVER THE PHONE.
*HOWEVER, I WILL ALSO POST YOUR GRADES AS WE GO ALONG ON THE WEB VISTA WEBSITE. FOR YOUR BENEFIT, I HAVE SET UP A WEBVISTA GRADE BOOK FOR YOU. WITH THIS, YOU CAN LOOK UP YOUR GRADES ONLINE, BEFORE I PASS THEM BACK IN CLASS. TO GET THERE, GO TO "https://clayton.view.usg.edu/." ONCE YOU REACH THAT SITE, JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR LOGGING IN. IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE, PLEASE CALL (OR VISIT) THE HUB FOR HELP.
ATTENDANCE:
All students are required to attend the Orientation Meeting and ALL three of the examination sessions. Missed examinations may not be made up except under extraordinary, documentable circumstances. In addition, even if justified, make-up tests are tougher than the original tests, because the easier, more obvious questions will have been pretty well used up on the original test. Please note comments above in regard to the extreme importance of the three Review Sessions.
If you miss any Review Sessions, do NOT ask that I
send you "what you missed" by e-mail or any other way.
That is not practical and can not be done. If you must
miss one, you will need to arrange for a friend to take notes for
you or to tape it.
ACCESS TO COURSE VIDEO LESSONS:
All students need to check out the videocassettes, containing
all nine of the videotaped lessons, from the CSU library. Some are included on
two tapes; others are all-on-one tape.
If your videotapes are defective, be sure to take them back and exchange them,
OR watch the original masters in the library, which are located behind the desk,
in the reserved stacks. The library IS set up so you can watch these
masters there.
SOFTCORE INFORMATION/OFFICE HOURS:
Please note the office hour schedule, which you may click on from my home page, after the first week of the Spring semester. I will also hand out hard copies of it at the orientation sessions. Feel free to call me, e-mail me or come by my office any time you have any questions concerning the class or the materials assigned for reading and viewing. Please note on the office hour sheet and on my "Schedule" hyperlink that I have also allowed time after each review session and exam session, for one-on-one time in my office, for your convenience, if you wish to use it
It is vital that you talk to me RIGHT AWAY if you need help or
have ANY questions. That's not only your responsibility, but it
is what I'm here for, and I would like to get to know you
individually. Most important, be sure to follow RELIGIOUSLY the
attached course outline of reading and viewing assignments. Far
more than in any other kind of college course, success in an
on-line telecourse is largely up to a student's own
self-discipline and self-determination. GO FOR IT!
REQUIRED ASSIGNMENTS:
I. TO PREPARE FOR BIGGIE NUMBER ONE (FIRST EXAM):
PLEASE NOTE:
FIRST, SINCE THE VIDEO PROGRAMS START WITH THE CONTENT OF CHAPTER
TWO AND THEN GO BACK TO THE CONTENT OF CHAPTER ONE, WE WILL
PROCEED IN THE SAME ORDER, SO AS TO KEEP THE TEXT BOOK AND THE
VIDEO PROGRAMS TOGETHER AND COORDINATED.
A. Therefore, your first assignment is to watch the first video program on your required tapes: "The Republic of Virtue"
B. And, along with that video, you must READ, in the American
Visions textbook, Chapter Two--"The Republic of
Virtue": pages 69 - 118, 123 - 125 (Houdon), & 127 -
135.
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS (AND ARCHITECT) TO STUDY ON THESE PAGES AND,
WHERE APPLICABLE, IN THE VIDEOS AND POWERPOINT 1 STUDY SLIDE SITE:
Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale,
Raphaelle Peale, Rembrandt Peale, Thomas Jefferson, Jean-Antoine
Houdon, Gilbert Stuart, and Thomas Cole (in the video). The
reading assignment for Cole is further below, in Chapter Three.
C. Next, watch the second video program, "The Promised Land," as a foundation review of how it all started in the New World.
D. This corresponds to Chapter One in your textbook, "O
My America, My New Founde Land."
However, I only have you read the important pages. You required
to read pages 2 - 6 (Intro.), then pages 20 - middle of 25
(ending with the words "...together and to God," pages
31 - 38, pages 43 - 44, bottom of 47 - 52, and, finally, pages 63
- 67.
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS TO STUDY ON THESE PAGES AND, WHERE APPLICABLE,
IN THE VIDEOS AND POWERPOINT 1 SITE:
The two Anonymous painters on pages 33 - 34, Thomas Smith, Edward
Hicks, Rebecca Fisher Stoltzfus (and Amish quilts in general),
Justus Engelhardt Kuhn (Henry Darnall III painting),
John Smibert, and Robert Feke.
E. Review the Romanticism and Thomas Cole references (including Course of Empire) in Video Program One.
F. Then watch Video Program Three, "The Wilderness and the West."
G. Along with that program, and the Cole/Romanticism
references in Video One, READ in the American Visions text:
Chapter Three, "The Wilderness and the West"--pages 136
- 205.
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS TO STUDY ON THESE PAGES:
Thomas Cole, John James Audubon, Asher Durand, Frederick E. Church, Martin
Johnson Heade, J.F. Kensett, George Caleb Bingham, Charles B.
King, George Catlin, John Mix Stanley, Emanuel Leutze, Albert
Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, and Frederic Remington.
H. Attend the Review Session and then study the corresponding slides for text chapters One, Two and Three on your Powerpoint 1 website. Remember to pay your special attention to the "MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTS..." that I identified for you above. If an artist's specific work is shown BOTH in the text and in the video and/or Powerpoint 1, you know it's more likely than others to be on a test. HOWEVER, you may be tested on an important artist's work even if that work only appears once, in the book or on the Powerpoint, as long as it is by one of the "IMPORTANT ARTISTS," as indicated in this course outline. It's just that if it appears more than once, it must be especially important. The important slides are all included in the "Powerpoint Presentations," which you may link to and print up from my homepage. These have always made very good "flash card" study aids, as well. Use "Powerpoint Presentation One" for this first exam.
====================================================================
II. TO PREPARE FOR BIGGIE NUMBER TWO (SECOND EXAM):
A. First, READ Chapter Four in the textbook: "American
Renaissance": pages 206 - 212, 218 - top of 225, 229 - 232,
and 237 - 269.
THIS TIME YOU ARE READING THE BOOK CHAPTER FIRST, BEFORE THE
CORRESPONDING VIDEO (Video Program Four), SO YOU WILL KNOW WHICH
PARTS OF VIDEO FOUR ARE RELEVANT.
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS TO STUDY ON THESE PAGES and also to watch for
in the next video:
Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Samuel F.B. Morse, Thomas W. Dewing, John
Singer Sargent!, James Whistler, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt
Chase, Childe Hassam, and Maurice Prendergast.
B. After reading Chapter Four, NOW watch Video Program Four, "The Gilded Age." Much of this video program relates to Chapter Four in the textbook and you will be tested on in this Exam Two. However, parts of the second half of this video program relate to the next chapter, which will also be on Exam Two. Base your studying in each case on the "IMPORTANT ARTISTS" I have indicated for you to study for each exam, such as in "A" above, for this test.
C. NEXT, READ Chapter Five in the textbook: "The Gritty
Cities"--see painting on page 270 and then start reading on
page 280 - 335.
AGAIN, YOU ARE READING THE BOOK CHAPTER FIRST, SO THAT YOU WILL
KNOW WHAT PARTS AND WHAT ARTISTS ARE RELEVANT TO THIS TEST, ON
VIDEO FOUR AND FIVE.
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS TO STUDY ON THESE PAGES and also on Videos
Four and Five:
John Roebling (Brooklyn Bridge), Louis Sullivan, Thomas Eakins,
Winslow Homer (the preceding are on video four; most of the
following, on video five), Jacob Riis, Robert Henri (and the
ASHCAN SCHOOL), John Sloan, George Luks, and George Bellows.
D. After reading Chapter FIVE, you may wish to re-watch Video Program Four, "The Gilded Age." Much of this video program relates to Chapter FIVE in the textbook.
E. NOW, READ Chapter SIX in the text, "Early
Modernism"--pages 336 - 401. The material in this chapter is
discussed in video program five, assigned next.
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS TO STUDY ON THESE PAGES and also in Video
Five:
Arthur Dove, Stieglitz, Marcel DuChamp, Albert Ryder, Marsden
Hartley, John Marin, Joseph Stella, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles
Demuth, Charles Sheeler, and Frank Lloyd Wright!
F. NOW watch Video Program Five, "A Wave From the Atlantic." Once again, much of this video program relates to Chapter Five in the textbook and will be tested on in this Exam Two, and the rest of it applies to Chapter Six and so will also be tested in this exam. THE WHOLE THING IS RELEVANT TO THE CURRENT TEST; it's just that where it discusses Riis through Bellows, that relates to chapter five, and the rest applies to the artists above in chapter six...but there are ALL on exam two. (See the "IMPORTANT ARTISTS" above in "A," "C," and "E")
G. Attend the Review Session and then study the corresponding Powerpoint 2 slides for text chapters Four, Five and Six from my homepage website. In this regard, remember to pay your special attention to the "MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTS..." that I identified for you. These are all provided for you to link to and print up on the "Powerpoint Presentation Two" Site on my Homepage.
==================================================================================
III. TO PREPARE FOR BIGGIE NUMBER THREE (THIRD/FINAL
EXAM):
NOTE: This last exam includes
modern art, which can use a lot more explaining than the older
forms of art. For that reason, you will have four video programs
to help you in understanding this art--more programs than for
each of the other individual tests--NOT because they want to give
you more work, but because they want to give you more help: I
believe you can use the additional explanations for this one.
A. First, WATCH video Program Six: "Streamlines and Breadlines."
B. Along with this, READ the corresponding Chapter 7 in the
textbook. This chapter is also entitled, "Streamlines and
Breadlines." Specifically, SEE the painting on page 402, and
then READ pages 419 (last paragraph) - 457.
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS TO FOCUS ON IN CHAPTER 7 and in the video
Program 6:
A. Calder, E. Hopper, Stuart Davis, Grant Wood, J.S. Curry, T. H.
Benton, Diego Rivera, and Jacob Lawrence.
C. Now, WATCH video Program 7: "The Empire of Signs."
D. Along with that, READ Chapter 8 in the textbook. This
chapter is also entitled, "The Empire of Signs."
Specifically, SEE the painting on page 464, and READ pages 465 -
491 (through Rothko)...and then pages 501 (starting with Smith) -
541.
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS TO FOCUS ON IN CHAPTER 8 and in the video
Program 7:
A. Gorky, W. de Kooning, J. Pollock, M. Rothko, David Smith, A.
Wyeth, Jasper Johns, R. Rauschenberg, R. Bearden, R.
Lichtenstein, C. Oldenburg, J. Rosenquist, and Andy Warhol.
E. Next, WATCH video Program 8 of the "American Visions" series, "The Age of Anxiety."
F. Along with that, READ Chapter 9 in the text, also entitled
"The Age of Anxiety." Specifically, READ pages 542 -
554 and then 558 (minimalism) - 565, skipping over to 572 - 577
(Smithson, Turrell, Nauman) and 582 - 587 (Guston), and then the
bottom half of 606 (Kienholz) - 609, and finally mid 619
(..."America's present...) to the end (620).
*IMPORTANT ARTISTS TO FOCUS ON IN CHAPTER 9 and in the video
Program 8:
Helen Frankenthaler, Philip Pearlstein, Frank Stella, Donald
Judd, Smithson, Turrell, Nauman, Guston, and Kienholz.
G. Now, WATCH the last video program (after program 8), which is "Art of the Western World": "In Our Own Time." This is one lesson from a very fine series which will help you understand this exam's important artists and these art periods much better. This also gives us a review of the Pop Art [also covered in video Program 7] of text Chapter 8, and takes us through Pollock, Abstract Expressionism, and beyond, as in Chapter 9 of our textbook.)
H. Attend the Review Session and then study the corresponding
Powerpoint 3 slides for text chapters seven, eight, and nine,
paying most attention to the "MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTS"
that I identified for you. Please link to and print up
"Powerpoint Presentation Three," for your benefit.
