I WOULD LIKE TO USE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES WITH THIS HISTORY 240 COURSE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE KQED WEBSITE KNOWN AS THE CALIFORNIA REPORT (I HOPE SOME OF YOU KNOW ABOUT IT ALREADY). THIS IS A RADIO PROGRAM THAT IS ON THE AIR FOR A FEW MINUTES IN THE MORNING AND IS A HALF HOUR PROGRAM ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT ON THE RADIO; YOU CAN USE THE WEBSITE TO BROWSE ALL KINDS OF INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE STORIES AND PODCASTS. WHEN YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE LINK FOR THE “CALIFORNIA REPORT” BELOW, AS YOU SCROLL DOWN YOU WILL SEE MANY RECENT ARTICLES/REPORTS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS HAVING TO DO WITH CALIFORNIA ISSUES/EXPERIENCES.LINK KQED CALIFORNIA REPORTI WOULD LIKE YOU TO CHOOSE A REPORT/ARTICLE/PODCAST THAT CATCHES YOUR ATTENTION AND COMPLETE A 300 WORD RESPONSE ON THE TOPIC/STORY YOU HAVE CHOSEN. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE TWO QUOTES FROM YOUR CHOICE AND INCLUDE TWO PEER REPLIES. BELOW ARE SOME GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW AS YOU COMPOSE YOUR RESPONSE:• PUT THE TITLE OF YOUR CHOICE AT THE TOP OF THE PAPER WITH THE DATE IT APPEARED.Why did you choose THIS article/ video/ podcast?What is the article about?What is its connection to life in California?Is it focusing on something unique to the state?Does the topic connect personally to your own life?Do you have a response to the topic that is similar or different to the author?Did you learn something that you didn't know before?SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONSYour response should be at least 300 words long and use correct grammar and spelling.Please include at least two quotes (with page numbers) from the report to support your argument.You will not be able to see the responses of your classmates until you have submitted your post.Once you have submitted, read and respond with at least two peer replies.This is a graded discussion so please consult the rubric below. To start responding click the reply button at the bottom of this page.

IntroductionRemember, to really think through a work of art, we're thinking about the artist's choices. With the Principles of Design we start thinking about a more complex set of choices. Now we're looking at the relationships between all of the Visual Elements, and even the relationship of the work to you as the viewer. Which parts of the work are emphasized? Which are repeated? Is there a rhythm to some of the elements? Does the work seem to be balanced or unbalanced? Unified or chaotic? How does that affect your reaction?Like with the individual Visual Elements, part of the meaning of the work emerges from these relationships between them, which we've called the Principles of Design.Unit Learning OutcomesDefine symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial balance. (CLO 1, 2, 3)Explain the relationship between emphasis and focal point. (CLO 1, 2, 3)Differentiate between scale and proportion. (CLO 1, 2, 3)Describe the relationship between pattern, repetition and rhythm. (CLO 1, 2, 3)Discuss the traditional relationship between unity and variety. (CLO 1, 2, 3)DirectionsTake a look at the image of the painting Napoleon Leading the Army over the Alps by Kehinde Wiley (2005) (Links to an external site.).Write an evaluation (150 to 300 words) about each artistic principle and how it’s used in the work. Use following image below to help guide your evaluation.Submit the written response as a Word or PDF document named: Assignment3.lastname.doc.Pick three (3) of these principles of design:balanceemphasisscaleproportionpatternrepetitionrhythmunity or varietyand describe how the artist uses them in this work.Due DateSubmit by 11:59p.m., Sunday, CT.RubricUnit 3: Evaluation - Principles of DesignUnit 3: Evaluation - Principles of DesignCriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLevel of Understanding – Design Principle 110.0 ptsExcellentDemonstrates an exceptional understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.9.0 ptsProficientDemonstrates a clear and complete understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.7.0 ptsSufficientDemonstrates a moderate level of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question.6.0 ptsDevelopingDemonstrates some degree of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question, but often struggles.5.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementDemonstrates little to no understanding of element or principle of design discussed or how it applies the work in question.10.0 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLevel of Understanding – Design Principle 210.0 ptsExcellentDemonstrates an exceptional understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.9.0 ptsProficientDemonstrates a clear and complete understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.7.0 ptsSufficientDemonstrates a moderate level of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question.6.0 ptsDevelopingDemonstrates some degree of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question, but often struggles.5.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementDemonstrates little to no understanding of element or principle of design discussed or how it applies the work in question.10.0 ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeLevel of Understanding – Design Principle 310.0 ptsExcellentDemonstrates an exceptional understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.9.0 ptsProficientDemonstrates a clear and complete understanding of the element or design principle discussed, and how it applies to the work in question.7.0 ptsSufficientDemonstrates a moderate level of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question.6.0 ptsDevelopingDemonstrates some degree of understanding of the artistic element or design principle discussed and how it applies to the work in question, but often struggles.5.0 ptsNeeds ImprovementDemonstrates little to no understanding of element or principle of design discussed or how it applies the work in question.10.0 ptsTotal Points: 30.0PreviousNext
