    This course serves as an introduction to sculpting the human figure and is open to both art majors and others interested in learning about figure modeling. Students will learn techniques for armature construction and modeling as well as important aspects of anatomy, proportion and structure. Over the course of the semester students will work from observation to create two figure studies in oil base clay, a kiln fired ceramic figure, and a self-portrait bust cast in plaster. This course is designed to give students a solid foundation in both the representational depiction of the figure three dimensionally and the basic anatomy and structure of the human body for artistic purposes. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00)
  • 3.00 Credits

    This is an introduction to clay, glazes, kilns, and studio procedures including an exploration of clay which will include wedging and kneading, pinch, coil, and slab methods of construction, and an introduction to kick and electric potter wheels. Demonstrations, slides, and films will be used. Individual and group projects will be encouraged. Each student will work at their own rate of development. Some specific projects will be assigned during class. No previous experience is necessary. Studio ( 45.00)
  • 3.00 Credits

    Glaze testing, mixing and decorating the ceramic form will be encouraged along with more emphasis on either hand forming or throwing techniques. Specific assignments geared to either forming method will be given. Studio ( 45.00) Prerequisites: ART-151 or ART-153
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is intended primarily for students pursuing the Associate in Fine Art (AFA) degree in studio art. One additional hour of instruction per week is required so that students may be exposed to a more intense studio experience. This course will introduce students to ceramics of the past including Asian, European and Native American pieces. Contemporary expressions in clay will be presented via text, slides, films, videos and group discussion. Each student will learn and incorporate into their work ancient methods of building clay vessels with simple tools, clay and water. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00)
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is intended primarily for students pursuing the Associate in Fine Art (AFA) degree in studio art. One additional hour of instruction per week is required so that students may be exposed to a more intense studio experience. Each student will work with clay in a more controlled and self-directed way. For the last half of the semester, each student will select either throwing or hand-building and devote most of the semester to a particular ceramic forming process. Each student will be required to write a term paper on a particular culture. A finished product, which is totally conceived and executed by each student, will be assigned as part of the course requirement. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Prerequisites: ART-153 or ART-151
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course has been designed to provide the student with the knowledge of two-dimensional design and color theory as used by the visual artists. In the course the student will cover the basic concept of design and composition, line, shape, value, volume, space, texture and color. Using color theory, the student will learn primary, secondary, tertiary, complementary, and analogous relationships. Studio ( 45.00)
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is an extension of two-dimensional design concepts into volumetric relationships emphasizing design concepts through structural and sculptural form. Various traditional materials will be explored. When available, the computer will be introduced as a supplemental tool. Studio ( 45.00) Prerequisites: ART-160
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will expand the student's understanding of color through a thorough exploration of Johannes Itten's fundamental color theory principles. Through lecture, demonstration, studio projects, reading assignments and analysis of work by some of the great masters of Western painting, the student will learn about the color circle and the seven color contrasts. Subjective feeling and objective color principles will also be addressed. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00)
