Course Description: This foundation course explores basic drawing techniques in a variety of dry and wet drawing media.

Students will create, critique, and display original works of art.

2. Meet deadlines for major drawing projects

3. Discuss and assess works of art openly with fellow students

4. Engage in theoretical criticism

5. Produce “original works of art” upon demand

6. Participate in a public exhibition

7. Orally defend one’s own work

8. Use a variety of drawing mediums including new technologies

Each drawing assignment will be graded as follows:

• 25% - Meeting deadlines

• 25% - Following directions

• 25% - Being original

• 25% - Good work ethic

Total: 100% (Remember: poor attendance, disruptive behavior, and/or plagiarism can trump any good grade.)

Attendance and Plagiarism policies:

Attendance is required. Five or more unexcused absences result in the lowering of the final grade one letter grade.

Plagiarism is defined as the use of words, ideas, or images of another as if they were one’s own and without acknowledgment of the source. Any student caught plagiarizing risks disciplinary action. For an existing image to become your own it needs to undergo “significant change”
