COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Define perception and awareness of visual elements such as form, texture, space and motion.

2.  Utilize the vocabulary of three dimensional design.

3.  Create three dimensional forms by employing a variety of design tools and materials.

 

Objectives:

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

1. Develop perception and awareness of visual elements and relationships such as form, rhythm,

    scale and repetition.

2. Employ the vocabulary of three dimensional design to describe forms.

3. Demonstrate hand skills for basic various design tools and media; hard, soft, flat and linear.

4. Employ analytical operations of two dimensional and three dimensional sketches to build

    forms in three dimensional space.

5. Develop aesthetic judgments through class critiques.

6. Demonstrate a disciplined creative ability through the development of disciplined work habits,

    time management skills, and the practice of hand skills, as well as risk-taking and

    experimentation.

7. Examine and analyze examples of historical models in architecture, sculpture and design.

8. Define health and safety issues that could arise from the use of three dimensional design

    materials such as mat knives, rulers, compasses and other three dimensional design

    materials to demonstrate safe use.

    C. Context: historical and contemporary movements in art and design

    D. Practical and functional aspect of design

VIII. Health and Safety

    A. Safe studio maintenance and clean-up procedure.

    B. Safe use of tools and machinery.

 

All topics are covered in the lecture and lab portions of the course.

Assignments:

1. Various form building exercises (portfolio preparation) (8 to 10) which explore major

    principles of form function including:

    a. Paper as a structural material

    b. Cardboard used as a model making material for natural and architectural form

    c. Human scale as a factor in functional form

    d. Primitive form and its relationship to geometric and organic design

    e. Fabrication and joinery as important details of form

    f. Kinetics and optics

    g. Design a Rube Goldberg type of device

    f. Design and create new tools for the certain task

    h. Design and build a case for precious object

 

2. Critiquing the aesthetic and conceptual success of one's own and other students' work

 

3. Student presents own work as portfolio at end of course

 

All assignments are lab- and lecture-related.

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 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 0 - 0%
None
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 70 - 90%
Class presentations, critiques, and portfolio preparation
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 10 - 30%
Attendance and class participation.
