Diversification: Arts (DA) Hallmarks
Diversification: Arts (DA) Hallmarks
To satisfy the Arts area requirement, at least two-thirds of a course:
DA.1 uses the definitions, descriptions, and terminology of the visual arts, performing arts, or other creative arts;
DA.2 emphasizes the acquisition of practical and theoretical skills necessary to produce visual, performing, or other creative arts for primarily aesthetic purposes;
DA.3 develops creative abilities in which artistic conventions are applied and originality is sought.
DA Hallmarks Explanatory Notes
It is the practice of various forms of the arts that distinguishes the Diversification Arts category from the categories involving Humanities (DH) and Literatures (DL). Practice implies making, doing, or inventing; practice implies personal involvement in the production or replication of traditional and experimental art forms. It is a student's practice which is evaluated.
Practice may be supported by historical and theoretical study and by analyses relevant to the critical evaluation of the subject and of students' creative endeavors.
Arts courses sometimes involve both lecture and practice. For instance, a course may include a lecture component and a separate laboratory, studio, workshop, or practicum. Such courses may earn the DA designation if two-thirds of the combined lecture and practice components demonstrate the hallmarks.
