  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - F This visual arts course will introduce the art student to the use of Macintosh computers and a vector-based drawing program as a visualization tool and a fine art medium. An overview of the Macintosh operating system and working with a variety of peripheral devices will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on use of the Macintosh computer as a fine artmaking tool. Through applied projects, students will learn how to use drawing tools, create paths, elemental graphic shapes, work with type and apply both color and gradient fills. Conceptual as well as technical issues will be covered. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - W This visual arts course will introduce the art student to the use of Macintosh computers and an image-editing program as a means to digitally manipulate photographs as well as create original images. Students will learn how to use a flatbed scanner, digital camera, work with stock photography and other image sources. Emphasis will be placed on use of the Macintosh computer as a fine art-making tool. Paint tools, filters, color correcting, selection methods, color modes and file formats will be explored. Through assigned projects, students will learn how to alter, improve, create and manage bitmap images. Conceptual as well as technical issues will be covered. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - Sp This visual arts course introduces the basic concepts and techniques of 3D modeling and animation. Students will invent art projects which include: modeling basic forms, animating the forms, creating virtual environments, lighting, texturing, and manipulating virtual camera movements. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - Su/F/W/Sp This is an introductory course designed for both the novice and the art major. This course content focuses on training the eye to see perceptually, developing a confidence in using traditional drawing tools, manipulating basic art elements such as space, value, line, shape and form, and on composing imagery reflecting volume and mass through the understanding of light. Sequential. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - Su/F/W/Sp Drawing II continues the study of perceptual seeing with an emphasis on drawing methods and techniques. Students will experience a larger variety of drawing tools and supports, encouraging an exploration of process and content cohesion. Drawing II provides opportunity to enhance eye-hand coordination, improve methodologies in composition, form, spatial issues and mass. Sequential. Prerequisite: ART 231 or consent of instructor. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - Su/F/W/Sp Drawing III works on refining methods and techniques with a portfolio of finished drawings as a final result of having taken this course. In addition to previous drawing course objectives, Drawing III students will study contemporary art issues, genres, mixed media, a variety of formats, and color. Students in this course will be expected to articulate outcomes and processes in drawing media and to create a body of work. Sequential. Prerequisite: ART 232 or consent of instructor. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - F/W/Sp This course introduces the student to drawing the human form. Students will follow drawing methods that lead to observational documentation of the human form's proportion, mass and structure. Students will explore the elements of line and value as enhancements to structure, issues in light, perspective, and surface anatomy and essential skeletal structures. Sequential. Prerequisite: ART 231 or consent of instructor. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - F/W/Sp This is an intermediate level course in a year-long sequence in the study of the human form and anatomy. This course builds upon skills developed in ART 234, Life Drawing I, to delve deeper into studies of skeletal and muscular structure to concentrate on the anterior and posterior views of the torso through overlay drawings. In-class exercises will further students' ability to respond to drawing the human form with accuracy and precision. Extended studies will investigate the potential of the human form as subject matter in explorations regarding color theory and composition. Sequential. Prerequisite: ART 234, or consent of instructor. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - F/W/Sp This course is an advanced level course in a year-long sequence in the study of the human form and anatomy. This third level of study will include expanded skeletal and musculature studies through the method of overlay drawings of the head, neck, arms and legs. Although students in ART 236 will continue to draw directly from the model in class, this course expands beyond the basic form and structure of the figure to discover conceptual and media explorations. Students will develop drawings that exhibit a personal or expressive component beyond the classical descriptive studies done in ART 234 and ART 235. Proposals for extended studies will be discussed in class and approved by the instructor. Sequential. Prerequisite: ART 235, or consent of instructor. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
  • 2.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Credits 3 (2 Lecture - 4 Lab Hrs/Wk) - F/W/Sp This is an introductory course in the art of cartooning which covers character development and marketing for various types and formats of cartoons. Prerequisite: None, however ART 231 is recommended. Proficiency Needed: Reading, Writing.
