| Method(s), Measure(s), and Instrument(s) for Expected
Outcome 1 |
|
Learning in studio classes is measured by assessing the skills and
intellectual development of students based on single assignments, single
courses, and the program as a whole. They are assessed in the classroom
using observation, written tests and assignments, pre-testing and
post-testing, class and individual critiques, portfolio reviews,
individual review by the faculty of all junior and senior art students,
and all student and senior exhibitions. The areas we are assessing
include; craftspersonship, concepts, presentation, growth, awareness of
the historical development of art and their place in it, ability to
communicate verbally and through their art, and the ability to think
independently.
