3 credits This course offers students a reflexive approach to drawing in an envi ronment where the process of discovery is examined from analytical and artistic points of view. As the name of the course implies, students will focus their attention on extended studies of form and elements found in nature, where keen observational skills translate into accurate and fully realized drawn accounts or records. Utilizing direct observation and field research, students will explore drawn visual records to supplement their scientific inquiries. Offered as a college-wide elective, the request for a course of this nature was a result of young scientists wanting to better communicate their observations and findings through simple drawings. Artists and curious students intrigued with the field of science and the process of discovery are also drawn to this course. Students will perform on-site drawing, research and keep a journal that documents and enhances the field experience. Students will be expected to complete a written research paper documenting field experience as well as exhibiting their drawings during weekly class critiques. Offered: As needed.

3 credits This course will provide the student with an opportunity to leave the traditional classroom environment to investigate through direct observa tion, elements found in nature, architecture or site-specific research that focus on a certain place and/or historic time period respectively. The stu dent will explore the complexities of observation through careful attention to detail; reinforced by assignments that focus on obtaining proficient mastery of technique and artistic expression via drawing. By investigating a location or an object on-site the student can discover through drawing a personal link or an historic context, through association, to a specific area (geographic/scientific/art inquiry) in time and place. Museum research inherent to the area is also required. A course in Basic Drawing is helpful but not necessary. Offered: 2008 - 2010.

3 credits In this course students will explore exciting, non-traditional ways to create compelling images with both a 35mm camera, and a Holga medium format camera. Techniques go beyond basic silver processes and include hand-applied emulsions to various materials, the construction of unique pinhole cameras, hand-coloring, solarization, cliche-verre (smoke on glass), toning/tinting, 3-dimensional photo constructions, collages, photo transfers and multiple exposure techniques. Some of these processes allow students to incorporate other disciplines and art forms resulting in the creation of unique, mixed-media works of art. The class culminates with a portfolio review and a critique of student work. Prerequisite: VIS 1023A and/or VIS 2098A. Offered: 2008 - 2010

3.00 Credits
3 credits This is a hands-on introduction to the fundamentals of digital pho tography. Students learn how to input photographic images via a scanner and electronic camera into a computer, as well as output them using a printer. In-class demonstrations, exercises, and discussions, as well as outside-of-class assignments, allow students to become knowledgeable on how to digitally enhance, creatively manipulate, and effectively com municate their ideas using photographic images and the computer. Prerequisite: VIS 1064N, or permission of the instructor obtained through a Visual Arts advisor. Offered: 2008 - 2010.
