COURSE
DESCRIPTION: Continuation of ART 1033. Students
become more skilled with visual elements and drawing principles. A broader
range of materials and techniques will be used. Subject matter will include still
life, life models, landscape, and imagined subjects. 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. Prerequisite, a grade
of C or better in ART 1033.
STUDENT
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Like Drawing 1, 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. Students will develop
skills in the areas of value, line, observation and composition while engaging
in subject matter including still life, interior/exterior space, portraiture
and abstraction. Students will learn drawing terminology and engage in studio
critiques.
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.
