Lecture This course introduces students to the principles of visual organization and color theory. Through a series of design assignments, students explore the relationships among point, line, shape, value, texture and color and learn to arrange these elements to create an aesthetic gestalt. Students investigate natural and geometric systems of organization to inform and inspire their designs. They conduct studio experiments that stimulate creativity and they learn to follow a creative process that includes stages for planning, exploring, executing, evaluating and revising their designs. Through participation in critiques, students learn to respond to works of art through intuitive contemplation and explicit analysis. Students complete a portfolio of design projects of increasing complexity and participate in a student exhibit.

Lecture This course introduces students to drawing skills through close examination of natural form, texture, objects, landscapes and the human form. Students explore line as outline, contour and gesture, and tone as variation in surface light. Through works of master artists as well as their own work, students study composition, point of view and critical perspective. Student-directed critiques after each rigorous drawing unit assist in furthering appreciation for different ways of seeing. A final project, developed by the student to demonstrate expression of line and application of drawing skills, culminates in a student exhibit.

Lecture This course will ground students in the fundamentals of ceramics and introduce them to clay techniques, tools, materials, and visual language as experienced through hand building and wheel throwing. Students will explore several significant genres such as Japanese ceramics, Bennington potters, pottery of the Southwest, as well as contemporary artists working in the medium. Students will also take advantage of the rich resource of potters in Windham County by visiting other studios and hearing guest lectures from established potters. Students will develop individual goals in formal and non-traditional approaches with guidance from the instructors. A major component of the course is for students to take responsible ownership of the studio space, expressed through student commitment to work independently, to honor all safety procedures, and to keep the space in good condition.

Lecture This beginning black-and-white photography course is designed for students who have little or no experience in the art of photography. Through instructor demonstration and field and darkroom experience, students master the skills of basic camera operation, film processing and print development. In addition, by completing structured photography assignments and participating in critique sessions, students learn techniques to help them select and compose their subjects and control their shooting, processing and printing to enhance the aesthetic qualities of their prints. In a final photographic essay project, students begin to investigate how visual interpretation can guide them to deeper language comprehension and expression.
