Course Content and Objectives
Teaching and Learning Methods
Discussions, demonstrations, slide presentations and gallery visits (resulting in several papers) will be included in this course along with considerable time spent in class working on design projects. Time spent working in the studio during class and homework assignments are critical to the learning objectives.
Attendance Policy
All students must attend class regularly. Studio classes such as this require in-class participation. Students must arrive on time. Classes typically begin with a demonstration at the beginning of class. Tardiness is disruptive, wastes valuable class time, and will damage your grade. Attendance will be recorded, and more than 3 absences will reduce your grade. Attendance includes making good use of class time, and working to the end of the period. Please contact me before class if there is a real problem with attending a class. This is not an on-line course so please do not expect a detailed email response to inquiries regarding missed assignments. It is expected that you will be in class to watch any demonstration that is given and participate in discussions. Please leave your cell phones OFF during class.
Evaluation Methods and Grading Scale
Grades: Students will be graded on several criteria:
-Projects both in class and homework projects are graded individually on creativity, craftsmanship and meeting objectives.
-Participation in class work, discussion and critiques
-Attendance
Late work: Late work should be prearranged. Any late work must be turned in within two weeks of the project due date. Late work is not eligible to be redone for a higher grade (see grading section).
Missed Class/make up work: I allow TWO homework assignments to be made up and TWO in-class projects to be made up due to missing class.
Participation: All students are required to come to class prepared with materials/tools, and participate in discussions and critiques. This class will often require several hours of outside class time. Students will visit at least two museums or galleries and write two one page papers describing each visit. I will discuss this project in greater detail later.
