Course Information

Beginning drawing is concerned with the ability to see images accurately and relate them to the page. The application of various drawing exercises from life (still life objects, nature, each other) is directed to build your drawing skills and enable you with an ability to render correctly.

I.COURSE OUTCOMES

The knowledge and skills the student should acquire during beginning drawing are as follows:

see formal components of a subject and translate them accurately, with correct scale, proportion and contour
translate visual images with contour lines only
observe and translate light & shadow on a subject using a wide range of values
plan and determine compositional variables in a drawing
create the illusion of advanced space in a drawing through the use of atmospheric perspective
observe and translate an applicable interior space with 1 point perspective
analyze and verbally articulate drawing objectives in a formal critique/review process
create drawings using the medium of charcoal

II.COURSE EXPECTATIONS

Students are expected to:

1. Attend class regularly. Students absent more than 4 times may receive a F grade

2. Attend class on time. Students arriving late or leaving early means you are marked 1/2day absent.

3. Complete class work on time. Complete homework on time.

4. In addition to assigned homework, you are expected to complete projects begun in class on your own time if you are not able to during the class period. C 256 will be open on Fridays, Sat. & Sun. forstudent use. Hours will be posted.

6. You are expected to participate in the critique process.

In addition to monitoring your project grades, I also maintain a studio evaluation in order to be able to respond to questions regarding your class participation. I record the following:

0 = absent

L late counts as one half absence ( students need to alert me if they have missed

role

LE = left early (late counts as one half absence)

The home assignments will address more indepth explorations of the techniques discussed in class.

Generally, persons who extend a reasonable effort and MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS (assignments, attendance, etc.) will attain at lease a "C" level, although there are, of course, no guarantees. A "C" level grade from this course on your transcripts or resumes signifies that you are COMPETENT in your drawing abilities regarding the above stated drawing outcomes.

"B" level will require an above average; reasonably complete mastery of the drawing objectives.

An "A" level will additionally require outstanding skill development, illustrated by exceptional drawings completed in both the homework and inclass assignments.

0 = absent

L late counts as one half absence ( students need to alert me if they have missed

role
