Title	Drawing I: Art and Visual Perception
Professor	Amy Sillman
Schedule	Th 9:30 am - 12:30 pm Fisher

Drawing is an intricate balance of looking, thinking, and doing all at once. People might know how to do a couple of these, but in this course we will try to bring these three together. The work will be organized around the basics: line, shape, form, tone, space, light, color, and movement. The studio work will be tied to readings from the book "Art and Visual Perception: A Psychology of the Creative Eye" by Rudolf Arnheim. We will work primarily from life (model, interior, still life, etc.), there will be homework, and above all, students will be challenged to learn how to LOOK more carefully.

Title	Printmaking I: Basic Intaglio
Professor	Bernard Greenwald
Schedule	Mon 1:30 pm -4:30 pm Fisher

This is the entry-level printmaking course, the prerequisite for all other printmaking classes in the art department. Its goal is to have students begin to use the tools and the materials of the printmaker as means for the development of personal imagery and self-expression through the serial progression the medium offers. Students will explore woodcutting, collotype, and learn how to conceive of and register plates for color printing. Students will learn to identify the various print media. The history of prints and archival methods will be discussed and there will be a field trip to a print cabinet to examine master prints.

Title	Cybergraphics II
Professor	Hap Tivey
Schedule	Wed 6:00 pm -9:00 pm Fisher

Cross-listed: Integrated Arts

Level II digital imaging offered in conjunction with level II printmaking. This class is designed to develop images for use in printmaking using mutually dependent techniques and processes. Students may enroll in both classes simultaneously and use products created in each class to create another generation of products in the parallel class. Transparencies and color separations made from digital images may be converted to silk screen, cyanotype and/or photogravure prints. Prints may be scanned and recreated digitally and reprinted from large-scale ink processes. In the first half of the semester, the printing class would examine the basics of silk screen and photogravure printing with simple exposure techniques; simultaneously, the digital class would develop transparency printing, image control and color separation techniques. In the second half of the semester, students in the printing class would use the acquired digital techniques to expose silk screens and/or photogravure plates; simultaneously, the digital class would embark on advanced compilation printing involving multi-layered final products that would include prints made from the non-digital processes. Photoshop skills or permission of the instructor required. Students enrolling in both classes are given priority.

Title	Painting II
Professor	Alan Cote
Schedule	Tu 1:30 pm -4:30 pm Fisher

This studio course will extend the perceptual articulation learned in Painting I. Observation of various natural subjects will continue with more ambitious painting as well as the beginning of abstract and simplification of the various subjects. Different technical and expressive approaches will be encouraged and explored. Outside of class work will relate to the current class problem. A minimum of three hours per week will be required of the serious student. Drawing II is recommended to accompany this course.

Title	Printmaking II - Silkscreen
Professor	Juana Valdes
Schedule	Fr 9:30 am - 12:30 pm Fisher

In conjunction with "Cybergraphics II", this class will explore photographic printmaking techniques in etching and silkscreen. Students will learn to transform their photographs through continuous tone and halftone techniques, as well as from digital sources into "safe" photoetching, photogravure and silkscreen prints. While the first part of the semester will be dedicated to the technical aspects, the second will consist of their application in individual projects. This class can be taken on its own. However it is strongly recommended to take full

advantage by signing up for Hap Tivey's "Cybergraphics II" as well. Students signing up for both classes will receive priority.

Prerequisite: Knowledge of basic b/w photography and Printmaking 100.

Title	Printmaking II - "Experimental Printmaking"
Professor	Lothar Osterburg
Schedule	Wed 1:00 pm -4:00 pm Fisher

This class will focus on the expansion of the basic printmaking techniques with an emphasis on combination of techniques and their creative use. Students will work on projects in woodblock, mono print, intaglio and screen-print, learn to register multiple plates and techniques. From the start of the semester students should work on a goal-oriented project with great emphasis on the final presentation, herefore great independence will be required in this class. This could be an artist's book or print installation. Learn various bookbinding techniques: from a simple Japanese binding, construction of a portfolio box, accordion book to classic signature binding.

Title	Creating the Comic Strip Novel
Professor	Bernard Greenwald
Schedule	Tu 9:30 am - 12:30 pm Fisher

Cross-listed: Integrated Arts

What was once thought of as "comic book" art has emerged as a genre capable of expressing a full range of profound human emotion, from wry humor and satire, to poignant, bittersweet memoir to painful recollection and catharsis. Recently the work of Art Spiegelman ("Maus I and Maus II") and Ben Katchor, ("Cheap Novelties", "Julius Knipple, Real Estate Photographer" and the Jew of New York') have given new credibility to the notion of serious fiction whose use of serial drawings is as essential as its text. In this course students will use the "strip" format to produce two short and one longer piece of original picture/fiction or reportage - developing the story line, dialogue, executing the drawings and text and making the finished art.

Prerequisite: Some demonstrated competence with drawing.

Cross-listed: Photography

This studio course is designed to provide conceptual and technical solutions for students interested in the continuously increasing role photography plays in the fine arts. Directed primarily at Studio Arts majors, the class involves no darkroom work. Students will use slides, Polaroids, found images, or digital output to make artworks employing photography. For the first several weeks, assignments will be given. Then, students will pursue individual projects.

ART SEMINARS

All studio art majors must take three graduated and required seminars (Sophomore, Junior, Senior) aimed at creating a sense of community within the program and at supplementing studio courses by addressing issues and concerns of the visual artist.

Course No.	ART 330 A
Title	Junior Seminar
Professor	Amy Sillman
Schedule	Wed 7:00 pm -9:00 pm Fisher

The format of this seminar is conversation about readings, slide talks, visiting artists, your own work, and an end-of-the-semester project. You will be asked to give your opinion often. Topics are diverse and questions are constant. For instance: What do you think makes certain art "Modern Art"? Can you explain Duchamp, Mondrian, and Warhol? Do you know what Apollonian and/or Dionysian artwork might be? Do you know what kitsch is? Do you know whether your work has postmodern tendencies? Can you name 30 women artists? Is suffering necessary in order to make good art, and if so, what constitutes suffering? Does art have to be personal? If it's personal how can it be universal? Is anything universal? Who is your audience? What are you doing? Why?

The Junior Seminar is required for all Junior visual art students and is open by permission to a few other Arts Division Juniors if there is room.

Title	Fresco, Egg Tempera, Oil: Techniques of the Old Masters For Contemporary Artists
Schedule	Fr 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

To register for this course please see Arthur Gibbons or Judy Pfaff. 2 credits, class will begin Oct. 5^th thru Dec. 7^th. $75.00 lab fee

Now, that the 'death of painting' is over, let us look back at the beginning. How does the physical process of painting affect its content? This course looks at art as a system of knowledge and provides a taste of materials and methods used by artists over the last 3000 years. A number of projects, slide presentations, demonstrations and critiques will give students a chance to explore a variety of materials and techniques. We will prepare surfaces and supports, grind pigments, and paint with an emphasis on the specific character of each painting technique. Coming up with new ways of working inspired by the materials and techniques of the Old Masters will be strongly encouraged. This practical course is not geared to perfecting old practices, but focuses on how meaning can be realized by using them in the context of contemporary art.
