COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Reinforce perceptual awareness of visual elements and compositional

   concerns.

2.  Develop in greater depth, concepts covered in Art 7A: line, volume,

   light; space.

3.  Employ a greater variety of graphic media, tools, and surfaces.

4.  Develop confidence in using media and tools appropriately, flexibly

   and imaginatively.

5.  Cultivate independence and ability to critically analyze and judge

   one's own work and the work of others.

6.  Investigate the realm of the non-objective: the unconscious, gestural,

   spontaneous.

7.  Explore the imaginative, the fanciful.

8.  Involve a more personal approach, a greater self-expression.

Topics and Scope

1.  Reinforce grasp of essential elements of drawing: gesture, shape,

mass, contour, plane, volume, space, light and shade, movement.

2.  Exercise basic drawing skills to apply these insights, using line,

tonal and textural contrasts, differentiations of sizes, sharpness,

variety of marks, etc.

3.  Become familiar with the combination of graphic media and tools such

as lithographic crayon used with-wash, bamboo sticks with ink, powdered

and stick, compressed charcoal with water, crayon with thinner, colored

pencils, tonal and colored pastel, etc.

4.  Involve a greater variety of papers and note how their surfaces com-

bine with various media to create differing effects.

5.  Exploit the techniques of collage and monotype as means to enrich

the possibilities of drawing.

6.  Consider stylistic concepts of historical precedent not covered in

Art 7A, such as Cubism, Surrealism, etc. for use as inspiration and

points of departure for further exploration.

7.  Elaborate upon areas such as Abstraction.

8.  Investigate more thoroughly the dynamics of space; deep space,

shallow space, reconciliation of two and three dimensional elements, the

mixing of viewpoints and eye-levels, the influence of size ratios, tone

texture, line and cage contrasts, etc.

Assignments:

1.  Draw objects from various eye levels, using perspective as a means

of expression.

2.  Include several eye levels in a single drawing.

3.  Draw a still life in a series of various lighting situations.

4.  Erase areas on a vine-charcoal toned surface to create lights.  Add

charcoal for a deeper dark.

5.  Set up a still life with objects against a varied background.  Make

all values lower than a middle tone black and leave white all values in

the set up which are lighter than a middle tone.

6.  Reverse a black and white drawing to white on black, using chalk or

paint.

7.  Draw a subject considerably larger than life-size.

8.  Create a "landscape" from objects such as bones, or tools, etc.

9.  Draw the model in relation to an environment.

10. Stress the planer aspects of various subjects such as still life,

faces, interiors, the urban landscape, etc.

11.  Work "cubistically", using the work of Picasso, Braque, Gris, as a

guide.

12.  Draw non-objectively, employing gesture, rhythm, spontaneity, as a

stimulus.

13.  Create sequential or otherwise related images in a single drawing,

using a basic grid as initial layout.

14.  Do a textural drawing using only marks.

15.  Use only contour lines in a drawing.

16.  Include cut shapes collaged in your drawing to involve tonal,

textural, and spatial contrasts.

17.  Use the technique of monotype (painting on glass with printing inks)

for self-portraits, still life, landscape, etc.

18.  Use various means such as enlarging, cropping, simplification,

towards abstracting an object or image.

19.  Enlist the copy machine to reduce, enlarge, or vary the contrast

of images as a resource for re-drawing an image.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 40 - 60%
Homework problems
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 10 - 30%
Class performances, PORTFOLIO
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 0 - 0%
None
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 75 - 90%
A portfolio of completed work will be major basis for course grade. Other factors: attendance, attitude, attentiveness, effort, growth participation
