| III. Instructional Processes*: | |||||||||
| Students will: | |||||||||
| 1. | Participate in class
critiques, both oral and written throughout the semester to
develop critical analysis and observational skills related to their own and other students' work. Communication Outcome, Problem Solving/Decision Making Outcome, Active Learning Strategy, Transitional Strategy |
||||||||
| 2. | Develop analytical and applied means for developing and transferring images for professional and applied use in the community. Personal Development Outcome, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome, Numerical Literacy Outcome | ||||||||
| 3. | Journal their personal feelings/reactions to the learning process in order to build a visual understanding and progress to professional and subsequent course work. Communication Outcome, Personal Development Outcome, Cultural Diversity and Social Adaption Outcome, Transitional Strategy | ||||||||
| 4. | Do one or more of
the following during the semester:
(1) attend exhibitions of work in the area (2) attend lecture(s) by visiting professionals (3) participate in informal lectures/workshops in class with visiting artists. Students will then participate in discussion regarding the specific activity and its relation to career direction, personal growth as regards aesthetic ability, and/or philosophical aesthetics. Communication Outcome, Personal Development Outcome, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome, Cultural Diversity and Social Adaption Outcome, Active Learning Strategy, Transitional Strategy |
||||||||
| *Strategies and outcomes listed after instructional processes reference Pellissippi State’s goals for strengthening general education knowledge and skills, connecting coursework to experiences beyond the classroom, and encouraging students to take active and responsible roles in the educational process. | |||||||||
| IV. Expectations for Student Performance*: | |||||||||
| Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: | |||||||||
| 1. | Demonstrate
a basic command of painting techniques through both traditional and
experimental application; alone and in mixed application. B |
||||||||
| 2. | Select appropriate ground, brushes, medium and solvents for oil or acrylic paints. B | ||||||||
| 3. | Build a stretcher, stretch canvas and prepare with gesso properly A, B | ||||||||
| 4. | Develop a spatial/compositional rational for the organization of their work C | ||||||||
| 5. | Rebuilding the surface of a painting by means of altering and editing the paint and/or image. C,D | ||||||||
| 6. | Apply
the design principles for structuring the unity of 2-dimensional space
and
for
analyzing the compositional structure itself. B, C |
||||||||
| 7. | Development of work that is serial in nature. C, E | ||||||||
| 8. | Verbalize and participate in class critiques using correct terminology. A, B, C, D, E | ||||||||
| 9. | Formulate a basis for personal content and justify verbally in class critiques and written assignments. A, B, C, D, E | ||||||||
| *Letters after performance expectations reference the course objectives listed above. | |||||||||
| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| As a studio class, no formal written examinations will be given, although students will be required to critique their own and other students' work orally and in appropriate written form, using correct vocabulary and punctuation. | |||||||||
| B. Outside Exhibitions / Lectures: | |||||||||
| During
the semester students will be expected to take advantage of guest lecture,
outside
local exhibitions, and visiting artists to the class. Two outside papers detailing these events will be required. |
|||||||||
| C. Grade Breakdown: | |||||||||
| 10%
- Participation in class discussion/critiques
5% - Attendance 5% - Outside papers (Local exhibition /lecture reviews) 10% - Outside small assigned paintings (still-life, self-portrait) 10% - Based on formal presentation and defense of personal content series 60% - Based of completeness and quality of paintings required (4 minimum) Each painting will receive a letter grade: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. These are averaged to arrive at a letter grade for the 60% |
|||||||||
| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Attendance
is required and students are responsible for all work missed due to absence.
Assignments due at critiques will result in a failing grade if students have an unexcused absence. Students must meet a minimum of 75% of scheduled class meetings in order to receive a passing grade for the course (8 or more absences, excused or otherwise will result in a failing grade.) |
