Studio safety will be emphasized.
This course is intended to be an extension of ART.131, and emphasizes the development of advanced drawing techniques, pictorial composition, and personal expressiveness. It is recommended as part of a two-course foundation in drawing for students intending to transfer to senior institution in art. Studio safety will be emphasized.
This course is an introduction to drawing the human figure using a variety of media. Drawings will be derived from direct observation and instruction will emphasize descriptive drawing techniques of the human figure. Drawing activities will emphasize full figure, features, and anatomical differentiation encompassing individual physiognomy. Studio safety will be emphasized.
Initially, this course focuses upon the basic principles of art as expressed through painting. Subsequently, the student selects subjects for further development of his/her competence in the implementation of those principles. There are no prerequisites, but art majors are advised to complete ART.131 before this course in order to enhance transferability as a baccalaureate art degree requirement. Studio safety will be emphasized.
This course continues building aesthetic and technical skills begun in ART.141. Emphasis will be placed on the investigation of media usage, color development and painting as a medium of communication. Studio safety will be emphasized.
Printmaking techniques such as relief and silkscreen are studied and practiced in this course to give the student an understanding of the processes of making multiple originals. Attention is given to the principles of design and the use of printing media to express visual ideas. There are no prerequisites, but art majors are advised to completed ART.131 before this course in order to enhance transferability as a baccalaureate art degree requirement. Studio safety will be emphasized.
Printmaking techniques such as relief, intaglio, and monotype are studied and practiced in this course to give the students an understanding of the processes of making multiple originals. Attention is given to the principles of design and the use of printing media to express visual ideas. This is an expansion of Printmaking I, the students will be concentrating on a theme and work to create a body of work using the techniques acquired from Printmaking I. Studio Safety will be emphasized. Prerequisite Printmaking I, but no other prerequisites are required. Art majors are advised to complete ART.131 before this course in order to enhance transferability as a baccalaureate art degree requirement.
Prerequisites: Take ART.151 with a grade of C or better.
Degree or Certificate: AA, AFA, AS, AAS, AGS, and Certificates where applicable. General Education: Not Applicable-Elective Only.
This course will introduce the student to the concepts and skills of basic black-and-white photography and the elements of pictorial form, and will promote use of the medium as a vehicle for creative expression. Emphasis will be placed on the mastery of basic techniques through camera and darkroom projects, and photographic vision through the analysis of exemplary works.
Degree or Certificate: AA, AS, AFA, AGS and Certificates where applicable. General Education--Not applicable, elective only..
This course will introduce the student to the skills and concepts of basic digital photography and promote the development of an understanding of the application of the elements and principles of design to the imaging process. It will also promote exploration of the medium for creative expression. Emphasis will be placed on the mastery of basic techniques through camera and computer projects and on photographic vision through the analysis of exemplary works.
Degree or Certificate: AA, AFA, AS, AAS, AGS and Certificates where applicable General Education: Not applicable-elective only.
This course continues building aesthetic and technical skills begun in Digital Photography (ART.162). This course will introduce the student to advanced skills and concepts of digital photography and image editing, continue the development of understanding in the application of the elements and principles of design to the imaging process, and promote exploration of the medium for creative expression. Emphasis will be placed on the mastery of basic tools and techniques of image editing and enhancement through the use of Adobe Photoshop. Camera and image editing projects will provide students with opportunities for creative and technical growth.
This course is an introduction to the medium of clay, from construction through the completion of finished pieces, including handbuilding techniques, glazing and firing. Studio safety will be emphasized. There are no prerequisites, but art majors are advised that some senior institutions may not accept this course as an art degree requirement unless it was preceded by specific art prerequisites.
This course is intended as an extension of ART.171, emphasizing the further development of knowledge and skills regarding form, decorative and conceptual approaches, glaze formulation, and firing technology. The course emphasizes individual instruction, permitting students to focus on handbuilding or potter's wheel techniques. Studio safety will be emphasized.
This course introduces the basic principles and elements of graphic design, the history of graphic design, form/symbol development, typography, and color theory. Students will learn through practical experience in essential studio processes and procedures, critiques, and group discussions how to visually solve graphic design problems. Using industry-standard software, students develop the ability and confidence to determine appropriate and successful designs. The course will focus on fundamental concepts and visual communication skills necessary for graphic design. The creation of multiple-page documents will be required, in both black and white and color, covering document construction, integration of word processing programs, working with images and typography, custom colors and standard output. The course will provide an introduction to the production of printed materials using illustrations and image manipulation software via computer.
Prerequisites: ART.121 or ART.122 or ART.131 or ART.132.
This course is a continuation of skills and creativity introduced in Graphic Design 191. Conceptual skills in visual language are used in the creation and communication of design systems. Students will create integrated media across a spectrum of applications, generate design criteria research, analysis, and design implications, and refine development for collateral items through web and motion graphics. This course will emphasize the development of graphic abstraction into both black and white and color translations, as well as the use of digital and/or traditional photography. There will be further emphasis on three- and four-dimensional computer modeling. Students will be introduced to the concepts of kinetic imagery and motion graphics. This course is an introduction to multimedia graphic design.
