Course Name	Course Number	Objectives
Beginning Painting I	ARTD 25A	Define well-organized visual composition and other formal principles in written and oral form. Recognize and discuss historical painting styles. Create well-organized visual compositions in a variety of styles and techniques. Develop paintings focusing on realism with precise shapes and edges through the process of blending. Develop paintings focusing on color theory in a painterly or Impressionistic style. Develop paintings using dynamic compositional elements with appropriate light logic and accurate shapes.
Design: Color and Composition	ARTD 21	Use creative and analytic techniques and strategies in planning and executing original artworks. Synthesis visual content, communicative, psychological, and emotional aspects of color harmonies in design projects. Make use of critical thinking (reading, writing, listening, speaking, observing and assessing) skills elemental to the problem solving of design and the visual arts. Students will be able to identify 4 color harmonies. Students will apply visual arts concepts in oral and written communication. Use art terminology in evaluative oral and written discussions, analysis, critiques and studio problems. Apply the formal elements, principles of design, and forms of compositional structure in evaluative oral and written discussions, analysis, critiques and studio problems. Demonstrate ability to match colors. Synthesize basic color harmonies in pigment and demonstrate their relationship to RGB and CMYK pallets. Demonstrate the use of color in space informed by light logic. Use and recognize historic and modern forms of perspective.
Design: Three Dimensional	ARTS 22	Design and produce projects using a variety of materials. Students will safely and successfully use a variety of required stationary power tools: Band saw, sanders, lathe. Define problems, organize information, analyze results, generate creative ideas, and synthesize complex visual, structural and practical considerations to create original solutions to three-dimensional design problems. Recognize, define, and apply three-dimensional design terminology in evaluative oral and written discussions, analysis and critiques. Apply molding principles by creating multi-piece molds and cold cast reproductions of three-dimensional objects. Use a variety of hand tools and equipment to manipulate media. Identify, analyze, and evaluate interrelationships between formal elements, principles of design, materials, technique, function, and cost.
Design: Two Dimensional	ARTD 20	Differentiate preferential, factual, and judicious thinking elemental to solving problems in design and visual arts. Make use of critical thinking (reading, writing, listening, speaking, observing and assessing) skills elemental to the problem solving of design and 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. Use historic and current forms of abstraction in the visual arts. Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of hues to the conceptual pigment color wheel by mixing, analyzing, appraising, and identifying color correct swatches for Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of color complements by mixing, analyzing and appraising complementary tones (chromatic grays). Perceive and demonstrate the relationship of color to value by mixing, analyzing, and appraising monochromatic tints and shades relative to the achromatic value scale. Use value to describe form and express light logic. 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 will be able to identify the three basic types of balance/symmetries. Students completing an assignment in Area C (Arts) courses will be able to analyze modes of artistic expression. Use the formal elements, principles of design, and principles of gestalt to create well-designed studio projects in achromatic value and color. Perceive and interpret the 3-D world through contour line drawings. Identify, evaluate, discuss, and use the formal elements and principles of design and forms of compositional structure. Students will accurately identify three different spatial devices
Drawing: Beginning	ARTD 15A	Synthesize the formal art elements and principles with the observed world in varying compositional formats. Students will successfully demonstrate the application of measuring/sighting from observation to solve creating the illusion of a three dimensional still life on two dimensional surface Utilize original and creative thinking in projects and writings. Utilize quick study drawing skills through visual notes and personal studies as a basis for planning larger extended works of art. Utilize quick study techniques to develop extended drawings. Utilize the principles of composition in objective and subjective analysis of historical and contemporary works of visual art. Discuss, analyze, and evaluate personal works of art and that of contemporary and historical artists by using appropriate art-specific terminology for content, technique, and style in both written and oral critiques. Students will demonstrate their understanding of fundamental illusions of three dimensional forms on a two dimensional plane by locating the eye level and vanishing points in examples of perspective boxes. Create original drawings, which demonstrate the capacity to perceive, comprehend, and interpret the three-dimensional visual world using dry media in a variety of techniques, which include stipple, line, and hatching.
Drawing: Life	ARTD 17A	Evaluate and discuss historical and contemporary art/artists through written and oral critiques using appropriate art-specific terminology. Create the illusion of three-dimensional form using various media and techniques based on formal art principles. Work from a general visual shorthand to more specific studies that result in finished art. Develop and use original and creative thinking in drawing the human body. Create drawings of the human body using drawing principles and techniques. Students will be able to quickly assess and communicate accurate proportion of the figure. Students will be able to use line to create the illusion of three-dimensional form through use of cross contour and construction.
History of Western Art: Prehistoric Through Gothic	AHIS 4	Students will be able to identify through analysis the role of visual art and culture (religious, political, economic, social, educational, etc.) in art and and cultures. Students will be able to identify formal elements and differentiate styles among cultures over time.
