Course	ART 108 BG Drawing I: Drawing from Life
Professor	Bernard Greenwald
CRN	15288
Schedule	Tu 1:30 - 4:30 pm Fisher Studio Arts
Distribution	OLD: F	NEW: Practicing Arts

For centuries the discipline and craft of drawing from the human figure have been central to the training of artists because of the expressive potential of the human form. With a simple change of pose we can observe tremendous shifts of masses and dynamics in the body. Describing how light reveals those changes can be challenging, exciting and rewarding. We will begin by drawing simple inanimate forms to develop competence with the figure and we will examine the work of various masters. Students will be encouraged to vary the scale of their work.

The goals of this course include developing the ability to compose the basic elements of line, shape, and value into representations of form and space. The work in this class will largely be based on observation-model, interior, still life, geometric forms-with a focus on developing fluency and confidence in the realization of visual ideas. This course is structured to give the student an appreciation and understanding of all the elements of drawing while challenging them to develop a respect for careful looking and thinking.

Digital technologies are proving themselves indispensable in the creation of both still and moving images. In contrast, this course will explore the three dimensional use of these technologies. It will cover the use of micro controllers to sense the world, control motors and other devices, and create interactivity. These skills will allow participants in the class to try their hands at robotics, physical computing or interactive installations. The emphasis will be on cheap hardware, free software, fast development and an all out effort to demystify technology. Enrollment will be limited. There are no technical pre-requisites for this class, but students should be sufficiently proficient in some media that they can integrate the technology into. Students wishing to take this class must meet Professor Ramirez Jonas before registration on December 8^th, at his office, or by appointment prior to that date.

Intended for junior and senior art majors, as well as anyone who has completed Painting II, this course is intended to simultaneously expand students vocabulary for painting as well as to help them find their voice. We will explore alternative formats, for instance shaped and multi-paneled paintings, as well as alternative strategies to the static image such as narrative and the juxtaposition of different styles and techniques. Artists who work figuratively as well as those whose work is conceptual or non-referential are welcome. Students will work very independently to develop a personal train of thought in their work and will ultimately produce a series of related works.

In this course, students will work on class projects and develop different ways to address the relation of drawing and sculpture in their own independent work. Students will work in a variety of two and three-dimensional mediums and the studio barn will enable them to make both small and large-scaled work that uses both the wall and the floor.

Course	ART 310 Printmaking III: Photogravure
Professor	Lothar Osterburg
CRN	15290
Schedule	Tu 6:00 - 10:00 pm Fisher Studio Arts
Distribution	OLD: F	NEW: Practicing Arts

This class will cover the 19^th century process of the dust grain photogravure. Photogravure is a continuous tone photographic intaglio process. A copper plate is etched gradually from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights, producing a much wider range of tones than any other photographic process, from a deep velvety black to sensitive, bright highlights. Tonalities are created by an ink layer, gradually varying in depth. As beautiful as photogravure can be, it is a difficult process to understand and master, and requires a great commitment in time, systematic and independent planning and the willingness to invest time and material. Emphasis will be given to the creative use of the process. Prerequisites: Prior photo experience or a solid printmaking background.

Course	ART 406 Senior Seminar
Professor	Arthur Gibbons
CRN	15291
Schedule	Tu 6:00 - 9:00 pm Fisher Studio Arts

Senior Seminar is a component of the Senior Project and will no longer be a separate 1 credit seminar, but it is a part of the 8 credits earned for Senior Project.
