COURSE
OBJECTIVES:
At the completion of
BASIC DESIGN the student should be able to;
understand and use the basic elements of design; line, shape, form,
texture, value, and color(color introduced only minimally)
be able to understand and use the design principles of ; unity/variety,
apply formal and informal balance, develop an emphasis or focal point, use
scale and proportion, understand positive/ negative space, develop the illusion
of space
develop a good use of tools and technique - to produce professional looking
work with good craftsmanship
learn and use the vocabulary of design
be able to contribute to group critiques/to be able to articulate the design
aspects of one’s own artwork and the work of others
be able to analyze and solve design problems
GRADING: Grading
is done on a numerical scale as follows:
|
A
= 10 |
B+
= 9 |
C+=
7.5 |
D+
= 6 |
|
A-
= 9.5 |
B
= 8.5 |
C
= 7 |
D
= 5.5 |
|
|
B-
= 8 |
C-
= 6.5 |
F
= 5 |
A
“0” ZERO will be assigned to work not turned in.
At
least 75% of assigned work must be completed successfully and turned in for evaluation
for student to be assigned credit for the course.
Your
final grade is simply a compilation of the studio projects, the homework, and
the vocabulary quiz calculated to an average.
The studio evaluation may be considered if a clear average is not
attained. You can easily track your
average with the worksheet on final page of syllabus. Considerations involved in grading
include; solution of assigned problem, design qualities, and
craftsmanship. Specific aspects of what is to be evaluated will be
addressed with each project. WORK TURNED IN LATE WILL BE LOWERED IN
GRADE. There will be one point taken off of each grade for each
class day late. Work not up for the review at the beginning of the
critique is considered late. Any
late projects must be turned in no later than 1 week past original due date.
All
graded work will be returned with a simple "score sheet" identifying
your level of achievement demonstrated in the stated objectives of the
assignment. Specific attributes of your project will be addressed in the
critique. It is ESSENTIAL that you use the critique to get instructor
feedback on your work. Do not be passive - ASK QUESTIONS. The score
sheet will notify you of the assigned grade, but the critique is where the true
discussion of your work is given. Participating in this is essential to
your growth as a design student. If you feel more feedback is needed than
you received in critique, please take advantage of my office hours(or make an
appointment outside of class) and I will be happy to discuss your work further.
ASSIGNMENT RETURN : Graded work will be returned during
class. If for any reason you are not
present to accept graded work, it will be placed on the “Return Shelf” in the
classroom marked ART110 LUARK. Please
retrieve your work as soon as possible.
ATTENDANCE: 100% attendance
is very important to get the benefit of introductory lectures, assignments and
directions, critiques, and the instructor’s help with your work. You are
held responsible for obtaining information missed though absences. Instruction is integrated throughout the entire
2hours and 50 min. session. Arriving
late or leaving early impairs your potential for success in the class. After more
than three absences( 9 class hours) it is advised that you withdraw from
the course as credit can no longer be assigned after missing that amount of
course/lab time. If there is a specific
emergency or extended illness that may warrant an “incomplete” grade, it is
your responsibility to notify the instructor. Attendance is recorded at
the beginning of class. If you do arrive
late IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to let the instructor know that the marked
absence should be adjusted. This needs
to be done the day of the class in question.
I do not negotiate the attendance roster at the end of the quarter. In addition to being in class and
participating fully in the studio session, students are expected to have with
them the required materials to complete each assignment. For a full outline refer to the Arts &
Humanities Division “Student Procedures & Expectations on the web that
specifically details the division policies.
This is posted on the My BC website for this course. Go to
bellevuecollege.edu and click on the MyBC link.
STUDENT E-MAIL - Any personal e-mail communication which I
instigate will be through your BC e-mail account. Please check this account regularly,
especially during mid-quarter when I encourage your Mid-Term grade analysis.
ASSIGNMENT SHEETS:: YOU will be
responsible for accessing the course Assignment Handouts online at the MyBC website for ART
110 Luark. Please make a habit of
checking this site regularly. It is expected that you print out the
assignment sheets PRIOR to starting the assignments in class. Assignment criteria as well as the “criteria
checklist” are clearly stated in the assignment sheets and this information
is critical to your success with the student projects. You will be required to attach the assignment “criteria checklist”
to all assignments turned in for credit. Check your syllabus/timeline to see when an
ASSIGN is scheduled.
STUDIO
GUIDELINES:
For the purpose of making the classroom environment and studio time beneficial
to ALL students we limit behavior which distracts from students’ ability to
concentrate on their work. Please employ
the following guidelines:
- no eating/drinking in class (use break
time, lounge area)
- turn ringer off on cell phones
- limit use of personal computers/electronics
to taking notes or studio work
- general
conversation(outside of lecture) and
student interaction is encouraged, but try and not disturb the class as a whole
BREAK: There will be
a 15 minute break at mid-class each day.
STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES:
If you require accommodation based on a documented disability, emergency
medical information to share, or need special arrangements in case of an
emergency evacuation, please make an appointment with me as soon as
possible. If you would like to inquire about support for students with
disabilities you may call 564-2498 or go in person to the Disability Resource
Center reception area in B132.
MATERIALS: A materials
list is given to you on the first day of the class. You are required to
have these materials available to you DURING CLASS. . DO NOT COUNT
ON PURCHASING MATERIALS DURING THE CLASS STUDIO - PURCHASE IN ADVANCE.
TEXT: There is no
required text for this course, but a copy of DESIGN BASICS by D. Lauer will be
kept on loan at the library desk. If you are interested in further
reading, let me know.
