Learning Outcomes:

Analyze works of art and design.
Enlarge and develop art vocabulary.
Learn fundamentals of form, composition, and color.
Recognize and discuss color properties (i.e., hue, value, intensity,
relationships, etc.) and the elements (space, line, value, texture, shape,
form, color) and principles (harmony, variety, balance, proportion,
dominance, movement, economy, unity) of design.
Reading/Writing Component:
Required Text:
Launching the Imagination, A Comprehensive Guide to Basic Design, 5th edition,
Mary Stewart
ISBN: 9780073379302
**This textbook is used for both 2D and 3D foundations classes. If you plan on
taking both- dont sell the book back! If you plan on taking only 2D, you can
instead purchaseLaunching the Imagination, A Guide to Two-Dimensional Design, 5th edition, Mary
Stewart
ISBN: 9780077773434
Additionally, I will occasionally post readings and videos on Sakai that will
supplement the textbook. The posted readings will have a response prompt
which must be submitted to Sakai before class on the due date. We will discuss
the reading briefly in class that day.
You will also be required to attend two art events. The events are all
posted under the Calendar in Resources and Assignments tab on Sakai.
You will write a one-page reflection for each event and submit it to
Assignments tab on Sakai within 48 hours of the event. If you cannot attend
any of the posted events, come see me ASAP for an alternative assignment.
Attendance:
Attending class is crucial to your success. Instruction, demonstrations,
critiques, observation of others and class discussions all work together to
strengthen your reception of this course. You are a valuable member of this class
and the presence of each member will help us reach the objectives of the class
together. You are allowed 2 unexcused absences for the semester. Each
absence beyond that will lower your grade by a letter grade. Three lates/early
departures will be equivalent to one absence. Critiques are required, posted and
graded. Absence on a critique day will result in a zero.
If you are unable to attend class due to properly authorized excused
absence (excused illness, school field trips, or excused sports-related activities)
you must submit the required documentation (official healthcare provider note
or school activity note) to me within one week after the excused absence.
Otherwise, the absence will be marked as unexcused.
No one may miss more than 6 classes for any reason. Over six absences results in
an automatic F, or the student must withdraw.
Grading:
65% Portfolio/Research/Written Reflections
10% Written Responses to homework prompts (including responses to readings
and videos)
15% Written Response to Art Events (3 total- including the Snite)
10% Participation in Critiques
Late homework will only be accepted one class day after the due date
with a -10 point penalty. After one class day, the homework will not be
accepted. Additionally, written responses will be dropped 10 points if it is
handed in after the due date and 20 points if it is handed in more than 1
week after the due date (I will accept written responses up until the last
day of class).
** Expect to spend between 2-6 hours per week outside of class on
homework assignments, completion of projects and research.
