Produce
examples
from
the
works
studied
in
class
and
explain
how
art
was
not
only
a
receptor
of
culture,
society,
and
environment,
but
also
a
participant
in
its
creation.
Textbooks
(required):
1)
Framing
America:
A
Social
History
of
American
Art,
by
Francis
K.
Pohl,
(Third
Edition).
2)
Reading
American
Art,
eds.
Doezema
and
Milroy.
Both
texts
are
available
for
purchase
at
the
SMC
bookstore.
A
copy
of
the
textbook
is
on
reserve
at
the
library.
Other
requirements
You
must
have
a
paper
notebook
for
this
class.
You
will
need
to
access
eCompanion
where
I
will
post
announcements,
links
to
see
images
shown
in
class,
and
detailed
instructions
for
homework
and
papers.
You
will
need
to
learn
how
to
submit
assignments
using
eCompanion.
There
will
be
two
required
visits
to
the
Los
Angeles
County
Museum
of
Art
and
you
will
need
to
get
there
on
your
own
outside
of
class
time.
More
information
will
be
provided.
Class
Attendance:
Attendance
at
all
class
meetings
is
required.
You
cannot
pass
the
class
if
you
miss
the
equivalent
of
3
classes
during
the
term.
For
the
Tuesday
night
Section
#4013
that
meets
only
once-a-week,
I
consider
each
week
meeting
of
the
evening
class
the
equivalent
of
two
days
of
daytime
class
meetings.
Therefore,
since
I
allow
only
3
unexcused
absences
per
term
for
weekday
classes,
in
the
evening
classes
after
you
miss
1.5
classes,
you
cannot
pass
the
class.
Late
arrivals
and
early
departures
are
not
acceptable,
so
leave
ample
time
for
transportation.
The
penalty
will
be
at
my
discretion--either
you
will
be
counted
as
absent
or
your
participation
grade
will
be
reduced
by
1%.
Please
conduct
yourself
as
you
would
in
a
business
environment:
on-time
attendance,
respect
for
others,
respectful
language
and
personal
integrity.
Private
conversations
with
the
instructor
should
be
held
in
office
hours,
not
during
class
time.

the
Student
Code
of
Conduct
(.pdf
file,
AR
4410):
http://www.smc.edu/StudentServices/StudentJudicialAffairs/Documents/AR4410
.pdf
will
be
penalized
--
the
paper
grade
will
be
lowered
by
5%
for
every
12
hours
after
the
deadline.
Homework
assignments,
reading
questions,
and
writing
prompts
will
be
described
and
posted
online.
If
you
are
unable
to
access
a
file
or
webpage,
notify
me
by
email
immediately
so
I
can
repair
the
link.
Computer
and
electronics
policy:
Laptop
computers
are
NOT
permitted,
so
you
should
take
notes
in
a
paper
notebook.
All
phones/electronic
devices
must
be
turned
off
and
put
away.
I
will
ask
you
to
leave
class
if
I
find
you
texting,
checking
email,
or
surfing
the
internet.
If
you
must
text
or
call
someone,
please
leave
the
classroom
and
return
quietly.
If
you
are
expecting
an
emergency
call,
please
let
me
know
before
class
begins
that
you
need
to
leave
your
phone
in
the
vibrate
mode.
Academic
Honesty:
You
are
responsible
for
being
familiar
with
the
Code
of
Academic
Conduct
in
the
student
handbook
www.smc.edu/StudentServices/StudentJudicialAffairs/Documents/AR4410.pdf
I
have
a
zero
tolerance
policy.
If
you
are
so
desperate
that
you
feel
the
need
to
cheat,
please
talk
to
me
so
we
can
make
a
plan
for
your
success.
Students
with
disabilities:
In
accordance
with
State
and
Federal
law,
academic
rules,
policies
and
practices
at
Santa
Monica
College
may
be
modified,
as
necessary,
to
ensure
that
they
do
not
discriminate,
or
have
the
effect
of
discriminating,
on
the
basis
of
disability,
against
students. The
college
makes
every
effort
to
make
its
campus
fully
accessible
to
students
with
disabilities.
The
College's
Center
for
Students
with
Disabilities
offers
counseling
and
special
programs
to
help
students.
It
is
your
responsibility
to
request
academic
adjustments
in
a
timely
manner.
If
you
qualify
for
any
special
accommodations
due
to
a
disability,
you
need
to
officially
process
your
request
through
the
Disabled
Students
Programs
and
Services
(DSPS)
office
as
close
to
the
beginning
of
the
semester
as
possible.
If
you
believe
you
have
a
learning
disability
that
has
not
yet
been
documented,
please
see
me
and
make
an
appointment
at
the
DSPS
office
for
assistance.
The
DSPS
office
is
located
in
the
Admissions/Student
Services
Complex,
Room
101,
and
the
phone
numbers
are
(310)
434-4265
and
(310)
434-4273
(TDD).
The
procedure
for
seeking
an
adjustment
is
outlined

website.

SUGGESTIONS
FOR
SUCCESS
--Your
role
is
to
come
to
the
lecture
prepared.
Read
the
assigned
material
before
the
lecture
and
to
be
ready
to
participate
in
class
discussion.
The
content
of
this
course
may
require
you
to
re-read
material
in
order
to
grasp
the
concepts.
--I
encourage
you
to
ask
questions.
The
only
wrong
question
is
an
unasked
question.
--Never
miss
class;
take
advantage
of
this
valuable
and
productive
learning
time.
Missing
class
will
leave
huge
gaps
and
may
leave
you
like
a
ship
adrift
in
the
fog.
Take
good
notes,
participate
in
class,
and
always
ask
when
you
are
confused.
Stay
awake
and
aware.
You
can
bring
a
snack
for
the
15
minute
break
to
re-energize.
--See
me
during
office
hours
because
I
am
here
to
help
you
succeed
in
this
class
and
learn.
--Study
your
notes
immediately
after
each
class
session
and
review
them
often.
--You
might
want
to
form
a
study
group.
Some
students
thrive
when
they
learn
together
and
it
can
be
more
fun.
