ART 3033: DRAWING 3 – FIGURE DRAWING

Spring 2019 – 3 Credit Hours, CRN: 10786

Section 001: T/R 2pm-4:50pm, Fine Arts 104

Instructor: John Norris, Associate Professor of Art

Office Hours: T: 7-8am, 5-6pm, TH: 7-8am or by appointment

COURSE CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Students will focus on the human figure through drawing sessions employing life models, undergoing detailed studies of anatomy, and creating independent projects involving the figure. 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. Prerequisites, a grade of C or better in ART 1013, ART 1033 and ART 1043.

May be repeated for credit.

STUDENT COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES: Like Drawing 1 & 2, 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; one 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 drawing the human form, including gesture, anatomy, and proportion. Students will also become familiar with contemporary and historical figurative artists, investigate multiple approaches to process and media, and explore narrative and conceptual approaches to figurative drawing.

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 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 that were covered in Drawing 1 & 2 and building upon them. Furthermore, we will fully investigate the figure in terms of anatomy, movement, process, and concept. In doing so, we will perform short-term formal exercises in class, create long-term multi-session drawings, and you will be given ambitious homework projects involving the figure.

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 extended drawings 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.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: 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; 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.

Genres including portraiture, still life, landscape and abstraction will be engaged.

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.

A: 90 - 100%   B: 80 - 89%   C: 70 - 79%   D: 60 - 69%   F: 0 - 59%

Portfolio 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 covering a wide range of introductory techniques and processes associated with the act of oil painting, from the very beginning stages of preparing a surface, through the various approaches of building a surface and developing an image, and finally to the end stages of presentation and documentation. In doing so, we will perform short-term formal exercises in class, create long-term multi-session paintings, and you will be given ambitious homework projects.

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 one or more extended paintings connected to the concept.

3. We will work on extended paintings outside of class that may take up
