1. Create a portfolio of their own artworks
2. Work collaboratively to evaluate and solve problems creatively
3. Define key figures, concepts, and practices in contemprary art
4. Identify ways that art interacts with society, history, and culture
5. Investigate new theories of visual literacy and apply them to course assignments

General Education Statement

This course is part of the University of South Florida’s General Education Curriculum. It is certified for Creative Thinking. Students enrolled in this course will be asked to participate in the USF General Education assessment effort. This will involve submitting copies of work for review via Canvas.

Required Texts and/or Readings and Course Materials

· The only required textbook is Visual Culture (3rd Edition), by and . Thanks to the Textbook affordability project, an online version of text is available for free through the USF library. Follow this link to the online text (you must be logged in to access it): http://ezproxy.lib.usf.edu/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usf/detail.action?docID=5725367
· All other reading materials will be provided through Canvas.
· In addition, students will need access to any type of digital video recording device, including a webcam or cell phone with a video camera, for the artist presentation project. If you don’t have a webcam, one can be purchased for around 20USD from most retailers.
· This is an online course involving images and media taught through Canvas. Students should have access to a high-speed Internet connection in order to experience the course as it has been designed. All USF campus computers have high-speed connectivity, as do most local libraries and Internet cafés.
· I provide information to you via Microsoft Word documents and PDFs, therefore students must have access to Microsoft Word and Acrobat (Preview for mac also works) for this class. Any written work should be submitted as .doc, .docx or .pdf files. If you submit work in another format it will not be graded. The simple reason for this rule is that we don’t have access to other software, and with the volume of grading everything must be in the required format. Certain materials shown may be embedded movies or be in PDF format so you should also have access to typical internet browsing plug-ins such as Flash player, Acrobat reader, QuickTime player, Etc. (all subject to your computer platform). If you have questions about these, please contact USF IT. Please remember that I’m here to teach you about the subject matter, and IT is there to help you with the technology. Please contact IT with any technological issues.

Grading and Grade Dissemination

Basis for Final Grade

Students will be required to complete the following projects for the listed point value:

· Worst Art Work Ever Essay — 10 points
· Contemporary Artist Presentation – 10 points
· Discussions, critiques, quizzes — 10 points
· Dollar Store Sculpture project – 10 points
· Metapictures Project – 10 points
· Mid-Term Art Project – 25 points

Note: Many projects will be assessed using the Student Learning Outcomes in the area of Creative thinking, as well as General Education requirements for Writing, Critical/Analytical Thinking and Problem solving. The Canvas Learning Mastery grade book will be engaged for all sections of this course in order to collect and evaluate General Education SLO data. Assignments will be graded using a detailed rubric with criteria that address, verbatim, the General Education Creative Thinking outcomes for which this class is certified.

All projects add up to a total of 100 points. The grading scale to be used in this class is listed below:

Grading Scale (%)

Grades will be available approximately two weeks after student submission. You can access your scores at any time using “Grades” in Canvas.

Course Policies: Grading and Attendance

Late Work Policy:

Please note that I will not give credit for late assignments, so don’t bother doing them if you miss the deadline. Let me be very clear about this subject. The online learning environment provides students with an unparalleled flexibility in terms of how you complete the coursework. The caveat to this kind of flexibility is absolute due dates for all assignments in this class. To clarify, this means that there will be no extensions given on work due and no late work will be accepted outside of documented medical emergencies involving the student or the student’s immediate family members. Requests for an extension or to submit late work in non-emergency situations, including any technical issues, will be denied.

Extra Credit Policy:

There are no extra credit opportunities offered in this class.

Grades of “Incomplete”:

An “I” grade may be awarded to a student only when a small portion of the student’s work is incomplete and only when the student is otherwise earning a passing grade. The time limit for removing the “I” is to be set by the instructor of the course. For undergraduate students, this time limit may not exceed two academic semesters, whether or not the student is in residence, and/or graduation, whichever comes first. For graduate students, this time limit may not exceed one academic semester. “I” grades not removed by the end of the time limit will be changed to “IF” or “IU,” whichever is appropriate.

Rewrite Policy:

Rewrites are not offered in this class.

Essay Commentary Policy:

Any commentary on essays will be delivered via Canvas through rubric feedback or paper annotations

Group Work Policy:

Everyone must take part in a group project. There are two parts to the assessment of the group project, the project itself and the individual effort of group members. All members of a group will receive the same score on the project, however, every person in the group will also be assessed individually for their level of participation. This policy will be further explained in the group project instructions.

Final Examinations Policy:

There is no final exam in this course, however there is a culminating group art project.

Attendance Policy:
The concept of attendance changes in an online course. Because we do not meet face-to-face, I expect you to spend an equivalent period of time as a physical class reading the assigned text and participating in the interactive aspects of the course. A significant portion of your grade will be based on participation in the weekly assignments and discussion boards where students will be asked to talk about specific course subject matter, take part in brief assignments that elaborate upon material covered in class, or short writing exercises on materials. The due dates for these weekly activities will be posted in Canvas.

Course Policies: Technology and Media

Canvas announcements and direct emails are the only way I communicate with the class! You should check your USF email and the announcements for this course at least every other day to keep up with course information. Please note that I typically only access email during the week (9a-5p) and rarely on the weekends. It may take several days for me to respond to your query. I will try to respond to your email within two business days. If you’ve received no response within that time, I suggest to re-submit your email to be sure it’s been received and place the words “second email” in the header, so I know you’ve already tried to contact me.

Also, Canvas offers many methods by which to contact me, but the only way to ensure I receive your question or comment is by direct email. Please use direct email exclusively for communication with instructor! I also suggest you read the materials I provide and ask questions you may have early. Frantic emails on the day a project or assignment asking me to explain how to go about creating the project indicates a certain level procrastination in reviewing the materials. Please avoid this scenario because rarely will you receive a helpful response in time.

This course will be offered via USF’s learning management system (LMS), Canvas. If you need help learning how to perform various tasks related to this course or other courses being offered in Canvas, please view the following videos or consult the Canvas help guides. You may also contact USF’s IT department at (813) 974-1222 or

USF Course Policies

USF Core Syllabus Policies:
USF has a set of central policies related to Covid-19, student recording class sessions, academic integrity and grievances, student accessibility services, academic disruption, religious observances, academic continuity, food insecurity, and sexual harassment that apply to all courses at USF. Be sure to review these online at: https://www.usf.edu/provost/faculty/core-syllabus-policy-statements.aspx  

2022 COVID-19 Protocols
For the most recent communication regarding COVID-19 protocols, please visit: https://www.usf.edu/coronavirus/.

Students should not attend class if they are ill, particularly if they have fever and/or gastrointestinal symptoms and/or respiratory symptoms such as a sneezing, runny nose, sore throat or coughing.  Students experiencing any of these symptoms should contact Student Health Services immediately (813-974-2331) for appropriate medical guidance and to obtain a verification of care letter.  To be approved for missed classes, late assignments or missed examinations a verification of care letter must be presented by the student to the faculty member upon return to class.  
 

Content warning

Students may be exposed to materials that some may consider explicit or offensive in nature. Please be advised and contact the instructor if you have any concerns. The artworks discussed in this class are often involved with politics, race, gender and sex in ways that offend people, and it is possible that you will feel offended, challenged or outraged as well. If these reactions occur, please consider them as part of the learning experience of this class, and factor them in your study, trying to understand them. My presentation of these aspects does not imply my endorsement of them, nor my expectation that you agree with them. I will present these aspects because they are part of what our subject is, and you will be evaluated on your ability to report and discuss these issues as components of the discourse, not as to whether you agree with them or not.

Assignments

Worst Artwork ever essay – 10 points of your total grade. This process writing assignment is given at the beginning of the semester where students must first present what they believe to be the “worst” work of contemporary art is they can find and argue their position in a formal written statement. This statement is reviewed and instructor feedback on content and form is provided. Later in the semester, students must return to this artwork and revise their original statement, giving them the opportunity to determine the level of growth in their ability to analyze an artwork.
Contemporary Artist Presentation – 10 points of your total grade. Students must research a contemporary living visual artist and craft a presentation video that identifies the social, historical, and cultural relevance of the artist, focusing on how they use their art to solve problems.

Discussions, critiques and quizzes – 10 points of your total grade. Several quizzes and discussion boards will be assigned throughout the semester that ask students to analyze different art works, critique the work of their peers, and discuss the concepts found in course readings.

Dollar Store Sculpture project – 10 points of your total grade. For this project, students are required to visit a dollar store (or any retail store) and purchase items totaling no more than five dollars to construct a sculpture. While rooted in levity, students must work within an economy of means to problem solve.

Metapictures project – 10 points of your total grade. In this project, students identify a prominent social icon such as a famous actor or politician they wish to critically investigate. They then compose a collage that somehow subverts or reframes the icon thereby creating a visual space to question and critique the constructed image of the chosen icon.

Mid-term Art Project – 25 points of your total grade. For the midterm project, students choose a current social, cultural, or political issue and create an artwork that critically investigates and proposes a solution to the chosen issue. Art works must be produced the in one of the following media: a painting, a three-dimensional sculpture, a series of photographs, or a short video project. The art project must also somehow employ at least two of the discrete approaches to contemporary art covered in the first six chapters of our text (Iconology, Form, Art History, Ideology, Semiotics, Hermeneutics). Find creative ways to synthesize the two different strategies to help realize your project.

Final Art Project – 25 points of your total grade. In the final project, students must identify their position on a current news topic assigned to them and collaborate with peers holding similar or opposing views to construct an art project. This project must in some poetic way synthesize the views of all participants and visually communicate the complexity of the issue.
