5.Learning Outcomes [§335.2]

[These outcomes are necessary to enable students to attain the essential

knowledge and skills embodied in the program’s educational objectives.]

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Create more advanced drawings from observation, incorporating the properties of line, value, texture, shape, and perspective
  • Produce drawings using various size formats from small-scale sketchbook to large-scale work with more advanced subjects/environments
  • Incorporate an in-depth understanding and application of the elements and principles of design in the completion of many kinds of drawings
  • Demonstrate advanced skills and understanding of the human anatomy/skeleton through drawings depicting the figure including muscles, proportion, movement, and gesture
  • Study and analyze drawings and/or paintings that represent historical and contemporary art of varied cultures through class presentations, visits to galleries, museums and/or campus media resources
  • Effectively present concepts and terminology learned in class while critiquing visual work during discussions and oral presentations
  • Demonstrate an advanced level of craftsmanship and presentation in the completion of drawings including the matting of work into a portfolio
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the standards of matting techniques to refine a more advanced portfolio
  • Utilize various drawing techniques and mixed media in the completion of black and white, and color work and refine a more advanced portfolio
  • Demonstrate the ability to work with color, combining media, and mark-making in the completion of course work with advanced subjects and settings
  • Utilize library resources and/or other media to conduct independent research/paper relating to class work
  • Identify hazardous art materials and unsafe studio practices. Students should be able to demonstrate safe practices while using materials and equipment in the art studio and at home
  • Research and conduct a major assignment project along with a connection with an artist from a list with approved topics for a series of four drawings and a written paper/presentation

6.Planned Sequence of Instruction [§335.2]

[These must be designed to help students achieve the learning outcomes.]

The following topics will be addressed in the context of lecture, slides, showing visual images, demonstrations, and critiques:

  • Subject matter/genre – Further exposure to more complex areas of still life, interior/exterior perspective, self-portrait/portraiture, abstraction, human anatomy (models – 15 sessions or three fourths of the semester) in exterior and interior settings.
  • Color – Acquire skills in more advanced mixing limited palettes, temperature, intensity, toned ground, color interaction, local/arbitrary color, scales, and color wheel.
  • Measuring – Further experience in guidelines of proportion, sighting angles, plotting planes, and fusing figure and ground simultaneously.
  • Shape – Gain more experience involving simplification, mass, planes, volume, and stages of development.
  • Line – Further knowledge in use of varying line, gesture, contour/cross contour, directional, structural, extension, diagrammatic, and line quality.
  • Composition – Experience more concepts with format, positive/negative relationship, open/closed, placement, rhythm, and types of balance.
  • Value – Further development in gray scale, tonal shape, tonal edge, chiaroscuro, contrast, and lighting (natural and artificial).
  • Perspective – More exposure with ways to create illusory space: linear, one-point, two-point, three-point, aerial perspective and foreshortening in interior and exterior setting.
  • Texture – Explore more ways of mark-making, applied to wet, dry and mixed media; discuss combining pattern and detail, and language into artwork.
  • Techniques – Acquire more complex color media and mixed media: graphite, charcoal, conte, oil stick, watercolor, ink; various approaches: subtractive/additive, hatch/cross hatching, graphite/stick, graphite charcoal dust, wax, and silverpoint.
  • Principles and elements of design – Further understand working with repetition, continuity, similarity, contrast, economy, closure, golden mean, and focal point.
  • Presentation – Continue to acquire skills involving mounting artwork and mat cutting to create a more refined portfolio.
  • Further knowledge in safety hazards with art materials in the studio and home setting.
  • Identify a major area of color drawing involving a series and culminating in a final presentation.
