Course Description
An in-depth investigation of drawing process, to include an emphasis in design, color, and exploration of a wide range of wet and dry media.

$28.00 - Are used to: supply materials to student for special projects; pay for 2 model sessions; support costs for studio

In addition to building on the basics of rendering, in Drawing I we will consider design-of-the-page and use of color in the building of more compelling images. Problems will be devised to familiarize student with a wide variety of wet and dry media in assorted techniques on assorted drawing surfaces. Some drawing sessions will be scheduled for locations outside the Art Building, on at least one occasion off-campus.

Exercises will increase in complexity throughout the semester. Students will receive frequent, short feedback on work handed in. There will be 2 or 3 formal critiques during the term. Homework required 4 hours/week drawing, with an additional 1 hour/week attending exhibits and guest lectures; keeping up on art periodicals, etc. Up to 5 required exhibits will be assigned as part of course content.

Excellent on-time attendance will be a requirement in this course. (Students who have time conflicts should not enroll.) Sign roll (in approximate ABC order) by class calendar each day.

For the lst half of term, I will grade all work on a simple check/check plus/ plus system. At midterm I will move to a 0-to-10 system, with 10 being a rare, end-of-semester grade. While you need to complete all required assignments, your final grade in this course will be weighted towards the grades received on work produced the final month.
A=Excellent. Rare grade. Ambitious effort resulted in 1 of strongest portfolios
B=Good. Solid work. Completed portfolio shows commitment & steady improvement
C=Fair. Attendance likely an issue. Missed assignments. Quality of work erratic
D=Poor. Missed too much content to receive Art major credit
E=No University credit
