Course Name	Course Number	Objectives
Design: Two Dimensional	ARTD 20	Recognize, define and appropriately apply 2-D terminology to evaluate works of art in oral or written discussions, analysis or critiques. Two-dimensional design students will be able to list all of the elements and principles of design by the 8th week of the semester. Two-Dimensional Design students will be able to list all of the elements and principles of design by the eighth week of the semester. Students completing an assignment in Area C (Arts) courses will be able to analyze modes of artistic expression. Students will be able to identify the three basic types of balance/symmetries. Students will accurately identify three different spatial devices Identify, evaluate, discuss, and use the formal elements and principles of design and forms of compositional structure. Perceive and interpret the 3-D world through contour line drawings. Use the formal elements, principles of design, and principles of gestalt to create well-designed studio projects in achromatic value and color. Use value to describe form and express light logic. Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of color to value by mixing, analyzing, and appraising monochromatic tints and shades relative to the achromatic value scale. Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of color complements by mixing, analyzing and appraising complementary tones (chromatic grays). Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of hues to the conceptual pigment color wheel by mixing, analyzing, appraising, and identifying color correct swatches for Use historic and current forms of abstraction in the visual arts. Recognize, analyze and interpret the expressive and creative qualities of art media in a work of art as it affects elementary compositional decisions. Make use of critical thinking (reading, writing, listening, speaking, observing and assessing) skills elemental to the problem solving of design and the visual arts. Differentiate preferential, factual, and judicious thinking elemental to solving problems in design and visual arts.
Fundamentals of Graphic Design	ARTC 100	Employ appropriate technology (hardware, software, and fabrication tools) to produce graphic design projects. Produce composites effectively using Photoshop selection techniques. Operate effectively within small teams to solve typical graphic design problems. Create thumbnails, sketches, roughs and comprehensives that effectively communicate creative thinking. Design original commercial art, combining text and images to successfully communicate messages to a target audience. Present original graphic design projects, explaining and defending the successful usage of learned skills and concepts. Critique graphic design projects based on learned skills and concepts. ARTC 100 students will produce composites in Photoshop using effective selection techniques and non-destructive editing. ARTC 100 students will be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of three important design elements: color, shape, and space.
Introduction to Printmaking	ARTD 43A	96% meets or exceeds expectations from an assessment of 26 printed editions by 13 students from three recent semesters. Students will learn techniques to translate original or existing imagery to the particulars of the printmaking processes. Student will acquire knowledge of printmaking terminology which coordinates with the ARTD 43A curriculum. 26 projects were evaluated over three semesters with a 96% meets or exceeds the expectations.
Letterpress Book Arts	ARTD 48A	Students will be able to compose multiple lines of letterpress type using a "type stick" Students will have a fundamental understanding of the history of letters and typography. Students will be capable of creating a stab-bound sample book with wrapped covers.
Printmaking: Introduction to Monotype	ARTD 46A	Students will create reductive method monotype prints.
Printmaking: Introduction to Screenprinting	ARTD 45A	Student will acquire knowledge of silkscreen printmaking terminology which coordinates with the ARTD 45A curriculum. Students will understand the concept of multiple originals. Students will understand the use of stencils of different kinds in silkscreen printmaking. Students will learn techniques to directly create or transfer original or existing imagery to the particulars of the silkscreen printmaking process. Students will acquire knowledge of silkscreen printmaking terminology which coordinates with the ARTD 45A curriculum. Examine the role screen printing plays in contemporary visual art. Analyze contemporary and historic screen printing images as inspiration for course assignments. Analyze the social impact of repeatable multiple images of screen printing on contemporary society. Synthesize personal imagery with basic key elements of design (line, color, shape, texture, space, form). Select appropriate studio practices, technologies, methods and materials to solve specific problems arising in the creation of multiple print editions in screen printing. Devise methods of transforming tonal images to graphic delineations. Discuss, analyze, and evaluate personal printed works of art as well as historic and contemporary examples using art-specific vocabulary for content, technique, and style in written and oral critiques. Document development stages of visual ideas for course assignments in a notebook. Compare and contrast fine art screen printing. Use color theory to mix custom color inks for assigned course projects. 75% meets or exceeds expectations from an assessment of 16 printed editions by 8 students from one recent semester. Each student had two editions assessed.
Printmaking: Photo and Alternative Processes	ARTD 47A	Students will produce printable photo polymer plates. 65% will score a grade of 75% or better.
