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: Two Dimensional	ARTD 20	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. 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.
Drawing: Beginning	ARTD 15A	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 Synthesize the formal art elements and principles with the observed world in varying compositional formats. Utilize the principles of composition in objective and subjective analysis of historical and contemporary works of visual art. Utilize quick study techniques to develop extended drawings. Utilize quick study drawing skills through visual notes and personal studies as a basis for planning larger extended works of art. Utilize original and creative thinking in projects and writings. 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. 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. 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	Students will be able to use line to create the illusion of three-dimensional form through use of cross contour and construction. Students will be able to quickly assess and communicate accurate proportion of the figure. Create drawings of the human body using drawing principles and techniques. Develop and use original and creative thinking in drawing the human body. Work from a general visual shorthand to more specific studies that result in finished art. Create the illusion of three-dimensional form using various media and techniques based on formal art principles. Evaluate and discuss historical and contemporary art/artists through written and oral critiques using appropriate art-specific terminology.
Fundamentals of Graphic Design	ARTC 100	ARTC 100 students will produce composites in Photoshop using effective selection techniques and non-destructive editing.
