Prerequisite: A 222, A 260 |
Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): This course change proposal is part of a larger reorganization process to shift all studio art courses from 3 credits to 4 credits. This change will enable students to complete the program efficiently in a four-year degree plan. As a result, the reduced course load will allow students to invest more time per course and increase the potential for greater progress in each subject. This change will also ease the department¿s scheduling grid, and permit increased student access to studio equipment and workspace as students prepare artwork between class sessions. This change in credits will align our program with art programs in both the 4-year universities and 2-year community colleges in Oregon. Students transferring from quarter and/or semester academic programs will typically experience more accurate credit equivalencies with WOU art courses under this proposed system. In terms of justifying the change, A 326 has not yet been offered for 3 credits. It is being designed to begin Fall 2012 with a 4-credit workload in mind. It absorbs material previously planned for A 226 (Motion & Narrative). |
Students/Program affected: This change will affect any student enrolling in studio art courses offered by the Art Department. It will particularly affect any student seeking a BA, BS, or BFA degree or minor offered by the Art Department, with the exception of art history. |
