COURSE CONTENT
Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Create a portfolio of figure drawings that reveal a range of perceptual insight, organizing
strategies, and expressive approaches.
2. Create an array of anatomical, proportional, and expressive figure drawings with a broad
variety of wet and dry drawing materials.
3. Synthesize skills and perceptions to comprehensively translate three-dimensional space to two
dimensional, illusionistic space.
4. Demonstrate individual metacognitive approaches that access a more open process of inquiry
and insightful self-evaluation.
Objectives:
Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Master the concept of gesture and use gesture to express the essential action of the figure.
2. Analyze and portray the figure accurately in correct proportion.
3. Identify key landmarks of human anatomy and represent them in figure drawings.
4. Experiment with a variety of black and white and colored media to created accurate values
and flesh tones.
5. Sustain a drawing from sketch to completion while remaining open to revisions in the
drawing.
6. Identify some masters of figure drawing from the past and present.
7. Create a personal approach to drawing the figure.
8. Critique one's own and other students' figure drawings.

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 10 - 30% |
Sight-measuring, drawings including: vertical and horizontal axis, musculature, gesture and contour, mass, skeletal analysis, portrait studies, master copy, and studies of the hands and feet | |
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations 10 - 30% |
Creating life drawing studies and oral participation in group critiques | |
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 60 - 80% |
A portfolio of completed work will be the major basis for course grade. Other factors: attendance/class participation, attitude, attentiveness, effort, growth | |
