COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

A. 98-081 through 98-087: Communication and Visual Arts

This class is about understanding and interpreting the figure in paint. The classes will explore painting the figure, and enable students to develop individual approaches to figurative painting in studio painting sessions. The students will explore mixing color for flesh tones, as well as composition, anatomy, and painting techniques. Prerequisites: ART 3XXXC - Figure Drawing II and ART 2510C - Painting Fundamentals. This will be a required course for the major.

The objective of this class is to cover the components of figure drawing that will increase the students' skill and heighten their awareness and understanding of the figure and the drawing processes by emphasizing structure, anatomy, and proportion. The class will draw from the nude figure, using a variety of techniques. . Prerequisite: ART 2330C - Figure Drawing. This will be a required course for the major.

This class consists of concentrated studies in painting/drawing processes through research, self-motivation, and series/subject development. Advanced studio problems in painting/drawing are pursued with emphasis on independent work, theme development, personal discovery, idea/concept and advanced processes. Individual development is stressed. Discussions, criticism and research are central to the course. Prerequisites: ART 3530C - Painting Studio and ART 3XXXC - Figure Drawing II. This will be a required course for the major.

Courses have been changed to be consistent with new courses in Graphic Design Major. [the] New course schedule in Graphic Design Track have replaced courses in the minor. Changes will make it more consistent. The new courses (already approved by Faculty Association) are: ART 2230C-Graphic Design; ART 3607C-PrePress Production;
ART 3270C-Graphic Design II; ART 4491C-Digital Imaging. Course changes are: ART 4682-Adv. Computer Images to ART 4682C-Graphic Design III. The following courses have been deleted: ADV 3003C-Layout & Production; ADV 3200-Ad Design; ART 2600C-Computer Images; ART 4270C-Publication/Package Design.

This is a request to change one elective in the program of study. The Department wishes to drop ART 2600C-Computer Images because it has been leveled from 3600 to 2600. In its place they propose as an elective ART 2605C-Basic Computer Images. A course already in place..

This track has been adversely affected by the course number leveling process. Students currently in the program do not have enough 3000-4000 level courses for graduate school. There is also a need to increase program hours to meet accreditation requirements as per BOR mandate. The change request requires three new courses: ART 3XXXC- Figure Drawing II; ART 3XXXC-Figurative Painting; ART 4XXXC- Painting/Drawing Research.

Due to state leveling of courses, the upper division course numbers were dropped or lowered. We have had to introduce new courses and course numbers that compensate for those changes. Under the old program, students no longer have enough upper level courses to graduate. The new proposed courses are: ART 3XXXC-Figure Drawing II; ART 4XXXC-[Painting/Drawing] Research; ART 3XXXC-Figurative Painting.

No more than three hours may be counted as part of the MACP or MAGP programs. The course is restricted to those who have been admitted to the MACP or MAGP program. It is an elective within a major program
