Advanced Drawing
Course Description:
In Advanced Drawing, students will be reviewing basic drawing skills and the elements and principles of design, while exploring how they are used in art. Students will also work in-depth with several different types of media and artistic styles in order to define their personal aesthetic and design their own compositions. In each section, students will observe and analyze various artworks to expand their knowledge of art history and develop their personal aesthetic. All projects in this course will be an original composition by the student. After instruction and research, students will be given prompts and guidelines on how to create each project, but the final outcome will be unique to each student. Later in the course, students will participate in either a self- or peer-critique. This is to help students learn to analyze their work and grow as an artist from the input of others. Students will compile and organize their artwork into a digital portfolio and write an artist statement. This can be used as a record of personal accomplishment or as an application to a secondary art program or job.

| B6. The online course content and supporting materials reflect a culturally diverse perspective that is free of bias.* | Partially Met | There is some evidence of people of different "races" in some images.

| B7. The online course materials (e.g., textbooks, primary source documents, OER) that support course content standards are accurate and current. | Partially Met | The instructional materials do meet the depth and are interactive. However, there is not a richness or breadth for ways that learners can access the learning objectives though the instructional materials.

| D1. Learner assessments are linked to stated course, unit, or lesson-level objectives or competencies. | Partially Met | There is evidence that the topics or content of the assessments are related to the course objectives and state standards. However, the lesson-level learning objectives are not always able to be measured by the formal or type summative assessment chosen in the course design. For example, in Lesson 1.1 the lesson objective is, "Students will be able to define drawing and discuss the purposes of drawing", however the assessment that follows is an auto-scored multiple choice quiz which does not provide a discussion prompt or written response item type. |

| F2. The online course tools support the learning objectives or competencies.* | Fully Met | |
| F3. The online course provides options for the instructor to adapt learning activities to accommodate learners’ needs and preferences.* | Partially Met | Instructor role permissions within Michigan Virtual's learning management system permit instructors to add supplemental content and external resources both within lessons and announcements. Additionally, the learning management system permits online accommodations including text-to-speech tools, extended testing time, provision of multiple attempts, and scoring exemptions for extenuating circumstances. Course content is desgined, however, to meet state and national content standards alignment and provide a guaranteed and viable curriculum to all enrolled learners, and therefore there are restrictions on instructor permissions to modify the scope and sequence of course assessments. |
| F4. The course allows instructors to control the release of content.* | Partially Met | Michigan Virtual provides for flexible pacing and asynchronous delivery of its online course offerings. In order to maximize these opportunities for personalized learner preferences and flexibility concerning frequency or timing of individual learner availability or participation in courses during academic terms, with few exceptions, all course content is made available at all times throughout the term, and generally only midterm or final exams are password protected. Conditional release of content is intentionally avoided or used sparingly within Michigan Virtual course design and instructional delivery models. |
