15. Drawing I

In this introductory course for the major and non-major the student will explore the pictorial issues of mark, line, scale, space, light and composition. Although the majority of assignments will be from the observed form, such as still life and the human figure, non-observational creation will also be emphasized. Various kinds of charcoal, ink and pencil will be the primary media used. The student will develop a critical facility to discuss the work presented in class.
Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Garand. Hamlin, Moss, Park, Randall, Thompson, Associates.

20. Drawing II

In this course the student will reinforce drawing techniques and strategies learned in Drawing I with an emphasis on discipline and increased mastery. Personal development of content, critical thinking and the students' relationship to materials, subjects, and techniques will be of importance.
Supplemental course fee required. Enrollment limited. Dist: ART. Associates.

22. Figure Drawing

A course based on drawing the human form. Most work will be done from direct observation. Attention will be paid to issues of mark, light, volume, space, and composition. Students will consider the complex relationship of perception, invention, and visual structure in the context of working from the figure.
Enrollment limited. Prerequisite: Studio Art 15. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Auten.

71. Drawing III

This course will place an emphasis on the student developing a personal voice through the language of drawing. Commitment and discipline are mandatory and expected due to the student's increased responsibility in shaping his or her trajectory of learning. Contemporary issues and materials will take an increased role in informing the students decisions. Critical thinking and decison making will be stressed. Observational drawing, abstraction, figuration and more unconventional techniques are all open to the student.
Enrollment limited. Prerequisite: Studio Art 20. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART. Associates.

76. Senior Seminar I

The first half of the two-term culminating experience in Studio Art. The seminar is devoted to developing critical skills and a body of work predicated upon a student’s ability to conceive, structure, sustain, and resolve an individual course of study in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, or architecture. Work will be reviewed by the faculty and an outside examiner. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART.

77. Senior Seminar II

A continuation of Studio Art 76, with the additional expectation that each student will present at the conclusion of the term the body of work which will be his/her thesis. The thesis must be judged by the Studio Art faculty to be technically and aesthetically sound. From this work a selection will be made for the senior exhibition. Continuous individual and group critiques will be given of student work by the principal instructor, Department faculty, and visiting artists.
Prerequisites: Studio Art 76. Supplemental course fee required. Dist: ART.
