COURSE
DESCRIPTION: Individual work for advanced students. It is
expected that students will spend a minimum of three additional clock hours per
week on work outside the scheduled class time for each studio class. May be
repeated for credit. Prerequisite, ART 3063, 3863, and ART 3330 or permission
of instructor. Fall, Spring. 3.000 Credit hours, 3.000 Lecture hours.
STUDENT
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students will pursue individual bodies of work
that seek to define a personal visual vocabulary and conceptual continuity. However,
this semester individual work will be framed within specific class projects
intended to expand, challenge, and diversify working methods and approaches. In
the process students will become aware of prominent trends in contemporary
painting as well as the expectations and practical concerns of maintaining a
professional studio practice. Students will also become articulate in speaking
formally about their own work as well as that of their peers. This is a STUDIO
CLASS; one which requires that students be actively involved in daily exercises
and contribute during critiques. Thus,
students must be present and punctual in order to fully participate.
ATTENDANCE
& CLASS PARTICIPATION: All late work will be
counted off 10 points (aka one letter grade) for each class period late. For
example: if your work merits a 93 but is 2 class periods late, then your grade
will be a 73. Participation counts as
25% of your grade and is based on the following considerations: 1. Being
present, punctual, and prepared for class 2. Focus on and completion of
exercises during class 3. Participation during critiques, discussions, and
dialogues. After 2 absences, 10 points
will be subtracted from your participation grade for each class missed. 20
points will automatically be deducted from your final participation grade if
you miss the Final Critique.
GRADING:
Grading will be based on the final outcome of each project (50%), preparatory
works for each project (25%), and class participation (25%).
A: 90 - 100% B: 80 -
89% C: 70 - 79% D: 60 - 69%
F: 0 - 59%
Individual Assigments will be based on the following elements: 1)
Indications that the student has fulfilled the assignment as defined by their
original proposal 2) a sense of quality showing that the students has invested
a significant amount of time and focus into the assignment. 3) The overall
success of the final image based on formal elements (composition, line quality,
sense of light & volume, etc.) as well as innovation, experimentation, and
creative thinking. AGAIN, TURNING IN ASSIGNMENTS LATE AUTOMATICALLY REDUCES
YOUR GRADE. IF YOU ARE CONFUSED ABOUT
GRADING, FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
COURSE
OUTLINE:
1. I will introduce a project framed around a specific concept,
subject, process, or artistic movement.
2. We will define a schedule for the project complete with due
dates for preparatory and final works.
3. We will turn in preparatory works and hold an in-process
critique.
4. We will turn in final works and hold a final project critique.
5. There will be regular slide talks, film screenings, reading
assignments and discussions to supplement each project and our general studio
practice.

COURSE
DESCRIPTION: This is the beginning drawing course. Students
work on developing observation and the discovery of form from both real and
imagined sources. Various materials and techniques are used to develop the
technical means of expression. Drawings are in the form of exercises using
clothed life models, still life, landscape, and imagined sources. Basic
concepts of professional art ideals and practices. It is expected that students
will spend a minimum of three additional clock hours per week on work outside
the scheduled class time for each studio class. Additionally, the Art Major
Core must be completed prior to the BFA Review. Students enrolled in the BFA
programs must pass the BFA Review prior to enrollment in 4000 ART courses.
STUDENT
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Drawing skills will be developed through
technical exercises in class and homework assignments employing these
techniques. The homework will allow students an opportunity to use their
acquired skills creatively and to build off of the techniques they have learned
in class. This is a STUDIO CLASS, which
requires that students be actively involved in drawing exercises and contribute
during critiques. Thus, students must be
present and punctual in order to fully participate. By the end of the course,
students will be well versed in various aspects of observational drawing,
including line, value, space, form, and sighting/measuring.
ATTENDANCE
& CLASS PARTICIPATION: More than 6 absences will
result in a grade of F for the course. All late work will be counted off 10
points for each class period late (Example: if your work merits a 93 but is 2
class periods late, then your grade will be a 73). Participation counts as 25% of your grade and
is based on the following considerations: 1. Being present, punctual, and
prepared for class 2. Focus on and completion of exercises during class 3.
Participation during critiques, discussions, and dialogues 4. Maintenance of
the shared studio space, including cleaning up after work sessions, respecting
shared tools and resources, and storing work and materials appropriately. After 2 absences, 10 points will be
subtracted from your participation grade for each class missed. 20 points will
automatically be deducted from your final participation grade if you miss the
Final Critique.
GRADING:
Grading will be based on assignments (which will be submitted in portfolio
form), your sketchbook, and class participation. The portfolios will make up
50% of your grade, and your sketchbook and class participation will each make
up 25%.
A: 90 - 100% B: 80 -
89% C: 70 - 79% D: 60 - 69%
F: 0 - 59%
Portfolio and sketchbook grades will be based on the following
elements: 1) Indications that the student has understood the assignment and is
employing its specific techniques. 2) a sense of quality showing that the
students has invested a significant amount of time and focus into the
assignment. 3) The overall success of the final image based on formal elements
(composition, line quality, sense of light & volume, etc.) as well as
creativity. AGAIN, TURNING IN ASSIGNMENTS LATE AUTOMATICALLY REDUCES YOUR
GRADE. IF YOU ARE CONFUSED ABOUT
GRADING, FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
COURSE
OUTLINE: We will be investigating several concepts including line
(contour/cross-contour), value, shape, space (1 & 2 point perspective), and
composition (form, harmony, rhythm, etc.). In doing so, we will follow a
pattern through which students will gain understanding of concepts, learn to
put them to practice, and ultimately combine them to create successful
drawings:
1. We will discuss a new concept and do several exercises
based
on this idea. We may
also do readings and/or have slide talks.
2. We will do a series of more extended drawings connected to the
concept.
3. We will do a series of sketchbook drawings to further
investigate.
4. We will work on an extended drawing inside/outside class that
may take up
to 2/3 weeks to
complete.
5. We will critique the work and its relation to the concept as a
class.
