Course Meeting Time: T/TH 5:00-7:45pm
Description
Prerequisite: Visual Arts 151. Continuation of design techniques including color characteristics, intervals, and mixtures.
Reinforcing the introductory course Beginning 2D Design and extending further into principles of two-dimensional design, this course will focus on color theory and design. Concepts integral to color theory and two-dimensional design will be explored through a series of hands on and computer-based exercises. Aesthetic, technical, historical, and conceptual approaches will be addressed through a series of lectures, demonstrations, research projects, exercises, projects and readings.
Course Objectives
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the following through a series of assignments:
• Project development through craftsmanship and hands-on processes using both traditional and electronic methods
Course Structure
Throughout the semester we will discuss specific themes related to color theory, and utilize studio time to execute those concepts. The first half of the semester will emphasize traditional hands-on methods of working, while the second half will incorporate digital/electronic methods. During the course of each project, there will be opportunities for introductory lectures/demonstrations, in-class work periods, and discussions or informal critique to discuss the work. Critiques will provide an opportunity to use formal imaging vocabulary, see mistakes and find solutions to them, and to recognize effective imaging strategies already present in the work. Students will be asked occasionally to write response papers that reinforce and demonstrate his/her understanding of the assignment objectives. In this way the student will not only build technical proficiency of color concepts through hands-on application, but better hone their communication and analytical skills which are integral to becoming a successful practicing artist.
Participation
Participation is essential to the success of the course. Class discussions and critiques are a unique and valuable opportunity to receive feedback from other students and the instructor. Each student’s distinctive voice is needed in discussions and critiques. An active participant shows an interest in learning, discussion and sharing their ideas with the class. The participation portion of each project grade is based on the student’s effort shown during critiques as well as in-class assignments; a willingness to vocally contribute to classroom dialogue is essential. It is also crucial that students be vocal if a question arises during a lecture or project description. The instructor will do her best to provide the students with information, but it is the student’s responsibility to ask questions and seek clarification on instructions or projects if concepts were not understood completely.
No answer can be given to questions that are never asked. Asking questions is not only appreciated, but expected during work days- there is no sympathy given for those students who earn a poor evaluation on a project because they “didn’t understand the assignment.”
Class Etiquette
Respect is essential within the classroom. Respect and professionalism is expected during class critiques and with the treatment of equipment. Cell phones, personal computers and classroom computers shall not be used for personal communication, shopping, gaming, or accessing Facebook or other social media sites. Music devices may be used during in-class work time only. The internet is reserved for conducting research related to course and working on assignments. Eating and drinking within the lab and with proximity of the computers is prohibited. The classroom is a place of professional practice and students should refrain from bringing family members or other guests into the classroom without permission from the administration and the instructor.
Visual Arts + Design Unit Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to be punctual and attend all classes. Attendance will be recorded at the beginning of each class period. A student’s presence in class has a direct impact on overall course evaluation. Lectures, critiques, and in-class assignments are formative in shaping a student’s participation grade and overall success in the course.
If a student is absent within the first 14 days of the semester he/she may be withdrawn by the instructor. The last day to withdraw from this course is November 4th. Students must drop the class if they plan not to attend, otherwise the appropriate failing grade will be assigned at the end of the semester.
It is the student’s responsibility to make up any missed project, in-class assignment, or other information covered during class time.
Late Work
Late work will receive a one-letter grade deduction. Students have two weeks to turn in a late project after the due date listed in the syllabus. This course is designed to provide ample in-class work time. This however, does not mean that students will not be assigned homework or expected to finish in-class work outside of class. Students are permitted to re-submit one project in which they would like to improve on their received grade. These resubmissions are due no later than the last day of class. Resubmissions handed in during exam week will not be graded or accepted.
Requirements and Evaluation
In-Class Exercies and Quizes-
10%
Color Theory Binder-
30%
Projects-
60%
The final course grade will be an average of the grades received on projects, response papers, research assignments, and in-class productivity. Each of the assignments will be evaluated according to a specific list of required criteria given with the assignment. The participation and in-class productivity portion of the grade will be based on promptness, participation in discussions and critiques, coming to class prepared, completion of reading assignments and in-class work ethic.
Grading Scale
Outstanding (A)-A student will receive an outstanding mark when she/he consistently exceeds the requirements of the projects. An outstanding student will demonstrate exemplary commitment and effort to the assignments and will show independent resourcefulness in and out of the classroom. Their work will communicate extensive understanding of the material and show technical superiority. It is essential to be present, on time, prepared for class, and significantly contribute to group discussions and critiques. The student is fully engaged in the process of learning.
Good (B)-A Good evaluation is earned when a student produces work meeting all the requirements of the instructor. Her/his work is accurate and complete and turned in on time. A good student will also be present, on time, prepared for class and enthusiastically engage in class discussions and critiques. Their work will communicate an understanding of the material and demonstrate good technical ability.
Average (C)-To earn an average mark the student achieves the requirements of the assignment on time but is not particularly clear or ambitious. An average student is present, on time, prepared for class and adequately participates in-class discussions, and critiques. Their work will communicate and partial understanding of the material and demonstrates good to fair technical ability. They will exhibit moderate originality, moderate execution, some imagination, and average self-expression.
Unsatisfactory (D)-A student with unsatisfactory mark if she/he does not satisfy the minimum requirement for the projects. Unsatisfactory evaluations are earned when a student does not complete an assignment, misses class regularly, fails to how an understanding of the material, and makes no effort to participate in class activities or critiques. The quality of their craftsmanship is unsatisfactory and demonstrates a lack of technical ability.
Academic Integrity
“Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. Behavior that violates these standards is not acceptable. Examples are the use of unauthorized material, communication with fellow students during an examination, attempting to benefit from the work of another student and similar behavior that defeats the intent of an examination or other class work. Cheating on examinations, plagiarism, and improper acknowledgement of sources in essays and the use of a single essay or paper in more than one course without permission are considered very serious offenses and shall be grounds for disciplinary action as outlined in the current General Catalog.”
