Textbook (required) – Art: a brief history, Marilyn Stokstad and Michael W. Cothren, 6th Edition Format of your choosing ISBN-
13: 978-0133843750, ISBN-10: 0133843750 Make certain to get this specific book – many have similar titles but will not cover
the information that you need - BUT you may find a deal on a different edition if you look!
Nature of this class – This class will be based on the discussion of readings and images from the text (and additional
images/content as introduced by the instructor) that pertain to various periods of art history. The slides and digital content
discussed in class are intended to expand on the illustrations found in the text in an attempt to broaden your understanding. We
will also be taking short field trips around campus (as the situation allows) to view artwork firsthand. You are expected to
complete 2 hours of work outside class for every hour in class, mostly in the form of reading the text, Canvas quizzes, and project
related assignments. This translates to a homework expectation of 6 hours per week.
Evaluation and grading – Grades will be based on three basic criteria – weekly quizzes on Canvas, project assignments
constructing a digital art show of your design, and a film/quiz during your scheduled finals week class meeting time.
There is a total of 310 possible points
Weekly Canvas Quizzes – We will have weekly quizzes in lieu of periodic exams. There will be a quiz on Canvas due for
every week of the semester, for a total of 15 (16 if you include the Final Exam Time Quiz mentioned below) These quizzes
will consist of multiple choice and true/false questions based on the class discussions, assigned readings, videos, and any
other pertinent presented information contained within the previous week module. These questions may be based on
an understanding of artistic cultural significance, innovations or to demonstrate an understanding of materials, processes
and terminology related to the images. Quizzes will open on Friday night at midnight and be open for one week. Quizzes
must be completed by the given due date for each or will be worth half credit. Total Quiz Points - 225
Gallery Project – Your gallery project will be a virtual art show that you design around a theme that interests you. We will
discuss these in detail in the last half of the semester, beginning on October 6th. This project will be created as a slide
show and submitted via pdf file upload to Canvas by Friday, December 10th. This assignment will have four graded
components – submission of a theme (5 points), a rough draft of your Juror’s Statement (10 points), and the final slide
show submission (50 points) as outlined in the calendar in the following pages. Specific instructions and criteria will be
discussed at a later date. Total Project Points - 65
Final Exam Time Quiz – This quiz will be given over content viewed during your final exam class time Thursday December
16th at 7:30am. That time is set by the CSU registrar, and you must attend at this time to receive credit. It cannot be
rescheduled. (I know, I hate it too) Final Quiz Points – 20
Attendance – Regular attendance is strongly recommended. Although much of the information we discuss comes from reading
the text, the text is a long and involved read. Guidance is needed to help you glean what is important from what is not, plus you
will need to attend to experience additional support materials that will only be presented in class. If you experience a serious
issue during the semester that interferes with your class attendance, there are resources on campus available to you. Contact the
Counseling Center, 491-6053, for assistance with these matters. Absences due to serious family/health issues can be mitigated
through the Collaborative for Student Achievement, 491-7095 or you may visit their website at

Academic Integrity –“The foundation of a university is truth and knowledge, each of which relies in a fundamental
manner upon academic integrity and is diminished significantly by academic dishonesty. Academic integrity is
conceptualized as doing and taking credit for one’s own work. A pervasive attitude promoting academic integrity
enhances the sense of community and adds value to the educational process. All within the University are responsible
for and affected by the cooperative commitment to academic integrity.” – Colorado State University General Catalog
Copying the work of another student during any exam, quiz, or written assignment, plagiarism, falsification of relevant
information, discussing the content of an exam or quiz you have taken with another student who has not yet taken the exam or
quiz - all constitute violations of Colorado State University's code of academic integrity. The Colorado State University policy on
Academic Honesty will be enforced (see your Undergraduate Catalog). This course will adhere to the Academic Integrity Policy of
the Colorado State University General Catalog and the Student Conduct Code. All work must be completed by the student during
the current semester including papers and quizzes. Plagiarism of the work or research of another is a clear violation of the policy.
Students may not submit assignments created for other classes. Penalties for anyone caught violating this standard may include
losing points on the given assignment or exam, receiving a "F" in the class, and being reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs
where violations will be added to your personal record.
Masks and COVID protocols are a requirement of CSU. You must follow the requirements or you cannot attend class.
-Please do not be disruptive. I enjoy a classroom based on mutual respect (and you will too!)
-I don’t care if you eat during class, I know you are busy – but please transport your own trash out. There are
garbage and recycling containers located in the hall.
-If you have questions, please ask. Don’t be afraid – someone else probably is wondering the same thing. If I don’t
know the answer, I will get back to you.
-Any grade conflict/questions must be resolved within two weeks of grade posting.
We will watch several films in this class. If you are opposed to watching films, don’t take this class.

If you suspect you have symptoms, or if you know you have been exposed to a positive person or have tested positive for COVID,
you are required to fill out the COVID Reporter (https://covid.colostate.edu/reporter/). If you know or believe you have been
exposed, including living with someone known to be COVID positive, or are symptomatic, it is important for the health of yourself
and others that you complete the online COVID Reporter. Do not ask your instructor to report for you. If you do not have internet
access to fill out the online COVID-19 Reporter, please call 970-491-4600. You may also report concerns in your academic or living
spaces regarding COVID exposures through the COVID Reporter. You will not be penalized in any way for reporting. When you

and, depending upon each situation, will conduct contact tracing, initiate any necessary public health requirements and notify you
if you need to take any steps.

assistance with navigating federal aid eligibility. The RAH page includes numerous resources as well as county, state and

Religious Observances
CSU does not discriminate on the basis of religion. Reasonable accommodation should be made to allow individuals to
observe their established religious holidays.
Please see CSU's Religious Observances Calendar.
Students seeking an exemption from attending class or completing assigned course work for a religious holiday will need
to fill out the Religious Accommodation Request Form and turn it in to the Division of Student Affairs, located on the
second level of the Administration building.
Once turned in, the Division of Student Affairs will review the request and contact the student accordingly. If approved,
the student will receive a memo from the Dean of Students to give to their professor or course instructor.
Students are asked to turn in the request forms as soon as the conflict is noticed. Similarly, unanticipated conflicts
requiring a religious observance, such as a death in the family, can also be reviewed.
