COURSE CONTENT
Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Demonstrate the ability to look at a work of design or art and evaluate how the visual elements communicate to the viewer using art and design terrms.
2. Practice various techniques, such as drawing, collage and painting.
3. Create a portfolio that synthesizes design elements such as line, value, texture, positive and negative shape, and color principles.
Objectives:
Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Develop perception and awareness of visual elements such as line, shape, value, texture, color, volume and space.
2. Define basic color terms such as hue, complement, analogous, saturation, grey scale and color wheel.
3. Develop perception and visual awareness of visual composition and ways of organizing the visual elements such as positive/negative shape, harmony/tension, unity/variety, organic/geometric.
4. Employ hand skills necessary for the basic mastery of the control of various artists' media including: charcoal, paper, acrylic paint and tools such as palette knives, brushes and Exacto knives.
5. Develop and exercise ability to perform basic measuring, scaling and positioning necessary to organize the two-dimensional picture plane.
6. Exercise ability to make critical aesthetic judgments through class critiques.
7. Combine risk-taking and experimentation with disciplined work habits as part of the creative process.
8. Examine and analyze examples of fine art and applied design, historical and contemporary, within a global context.
9. Define health and safety issues that could arise from the use of artists' materials.
10. Describe the values, themes, methods and history of the discipline and identify realistic career objectives related to a course of study in the major.

A. Charcoal
B. Pencil contour
C. Paper cutouts
D. Automatism and subtraction
E. Collage
F. Paint application
G. Mixed media
3. Composition

Assignments:
Untitled document
Assignments may include any or all of the following:
1. Charcoal geometric composition using vertical/horizontal lines in composition that uses process of erasing and correcting lines
2. Curved linear composition using cut lines and black paper
3. Abstract shape composition using cutouts and cutaways in positive/negative space relationship
4. Colored abstract paper collage translated into black, grey and white values
5. Japanese- based screen composition with emphasis on asymmetry and positive and negative shapes based on thumbnail sketches and cropping
6. Cubist composition in complementary color based deconstruction of perspective using thumbnail sketches
7. Self-portrait based on charcoal sketches using abstraction of shape, analogous colors, and split complements with painting techniques
8. Critiquing the aesthetic and conceptual success of one's own and other students' work
9. Independent study will be required of all students. A series of assignments/critiques in the Art Gallery or on the Art Gallery website will be completed in order to enhance existing course content. A minimum of 4.25 hours of gallery study will be required per semester.
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 10 - 30% |
Other factors: attendance, attentiveness, attitude, effort, class participation, growth. | |
