The faculty of Oakland Community College have defined three relevant dimensions of the Aesthetic Awareness General Education outcome to clarify learning expectations for our students. They include:

1. Form aesthetic judgments
2. Understand and evaluates how aesthetic expression challenges one’s view and leads to an appreciation of commonality and diversity.
3. Recognize aesthetic expression as a stimulus for intellectual and emotional interpretation

Student knowledge and skill can be assessed by utilizing the Aesthetic Awareness Evaluation Rubric established by OCC faculty. View rubric [PDF]
