Title	Painting II: The Figure
Professor	Joseph Santore
Schedule	Mon 9:30 am – 12:30 pm FISHER Mon 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm FISHER

Students will be expected to be on time and have the proper equipment. This includes a good assortment of brushes, a proper palette and the required colors. We will be working for the most part on canvas, so students should know how to stretch and prime a canvas properly. Hopefully some of the poses will extend over two weeks which will allow students to begin to push their work into new places. This class is for students who want to work hard and extend themselves. Students should have experience in drawing. There will be assignments, critiques and classroom discussions. Please do not sign up for this class if you are not ready to make the commitment.

Title	Sculpture II
Professor	William Tucker
Schedule	Mon 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm FISHER

Students will be invited to consider sculpture as a means of making real (three-dimensional) any experience, from direct perception, from memory, dream or bodily sensation. Initially projects will be suggested exploring a common theme, such as gravity, permanence, light, duration, breath, sleep, etc., employing a wide range of materials: as the semester progresses students will be encouraged to develop more ambitious individual projects. There will be regular critiques, individual student presentations on sculptors, and discussions of issues in sculpture; and the possibility of gallery museum and foundry visits.

“In Between Painting and Sculpture” is a studio class for students who want to make three-dimensional work that is directly related to painting. This includes wall sculpture, reliefs, painted sculpture, installation and other three-dimensional objects that are engaged with the pictorial space of painting. We will look at Cubism, Constructivism, Pop Art, Assemblage and Specific Objects to examine how painting and sculpture have been combined, and the kinds of formal challenges that this has generated. Students will work in the plaster/clay room, wood shop and metal shop, as well as outside of class on their projects. Class time will consist of critiquing finished pieces and working on in-class projects. There will also be demonstrations in materials and techniques, slide presentations and a trip to galleries.

Prerequisite: Sculpture I or Painting I, or by permission of instructor.

Title	Drawing II
Professor	Kenneth Buhler
Schedule	Tu 9:30 am - 12:30 pm FISHER

The term “drawing from nature” here is used both literally and figuratively. Part of this drawing course is analytical in nature and utilizes perceptual work (including observation through microscopes) to acquire visual information about basic structures in nature, growth patterns, and other phenomena less than immediately apparent to the eye. In addition to the perceptual work, this visual data will be adopted for continued exploration on individual drawing projects. Drawing I, the love of natural forms, great patience, and good basic drawing skills are required.
