ART 112,
Three Dimensional Design course provides the essential foundation for all 3D
design and fine arts areas including Interior Design, furniture design,
industrial design, jewelry and sculpture.
Course goals and objectives:
This course will cover the four basic design elements used in creating
in three dimensions, mass, space, Time, and light. Working in three dimensions
is characterized by its physicality. Three-dimensional objects exist in real
space; they are tactile; they are responsive to variations in light and point
of view; they elicit response to material as well as form. Engineering is an
issue of believability as well as of manufacture. The primary goal of this
course is to help students develop an understanding and appreciation of the
interaction of form in space and the effect of time and light on both of these
elements and ways to manipulate them. Another goal of this course is to develop
a shared vocabulary, both visual and verbal, to facilitate further work. This
shared vocabulary serves as the basis for the constructive criticism and
exchange of ideas that are important in the formal study of art.
Course
outcomes in reading:
1) Research
on projects will require the use of the library or internet (see section on
notebook/sketchbook requirements).
2) Students
will be required to follow written instructions on all projects.
Course
outcomes in writing:
1)
Students will describe, analyze, critique, and
write about the visual characteristics of works of art (description,
observation, analysis, and reflection).
2)
Students will describe, analyze, critique, and
write about process and materials used in their projects.
Course
outcomes in oral presentations:
1)
Students will give an oral report on public art.
2)
Students will be required to discuss the results
of their projects as well as of the works of other students using vocabulary learned
from class lectures.
Subject area content standards to be addressed:
1)
Art criticism, reflection and analysis.
2)
Art history, the evolution of thoughts and ideas
expressed in visual terms.
3)
Art production, the experience of process and
materials to express a visual idea.
4)
Aesthetics, the discussion of the principles that
underlie human values. Context, content, and intent.
This course will prepare students for:
1)
Integrated and interdisciplinary learning: Students will connect and apply what they
learn about 3 D art to other art forms, subject areas and careers.
2)
In a variety of research projects and studio
projects students will be required to be self-directed learners.
3)
All activities that focus on creative expression
will require students to be effective visual communicators.
4)
Working on projects in the studio setting will
make students better collaborative workers.
5)
In planning strategies for successful art
projects and in problem solving during project development, students will be
constructive thinkers.
6)
In creating quality art works that show pride in
workmanship, students will be quality producers.
7)
In caring for supplies, tools, and materials,
students will be responsible citizens.
Grading
The student should be cognoscente that this is a studio class and this
means that the student’s interaction with the instructor and his or her class
mates creates the best and most effective learning environment. With this in
mind students are expected to attend all studios and labs. Attendance can affect
a student’s grade. Students will be evaluated on each of three “design/ build”
studio projects and one outside assignment. The evaluation will be on grasp of
concept, design (the object created), craftsmanship, creativity, and studio
participation (attendance and on time and can affect final grade
for this course). Each of these five areas will be given 0 to 4 points based on
the object created and the research on the project (notebook/sketch book). The sketchbook/ notebook will be evaluated on
three areas, conceptualization, artist research, and process and materials.
Each of these three areas will be given 0 to 4 points based on the depth of
presented research. Created object and sketchbook/ notebook are to be turned in
the day of the critique. See evaluation
form and “What you need to cover in your sketch book/ notebook”, on the class
web site.
Books
and materials
A list of books that the student might find useful for this course
will be posted on the class web site. There are no required readings.
There are a wide range of materials that the student might use to
create each project. Your lab fee will cover some basic materials, but if you find
that you would like to work with other materials this will be at your own
expense. Expenses for this class will range from $0 to the national debt.
Shop
safety
It is our intention to get your attention concerning your safety and
the safety of others in the C 160 shop. As a student entering into this shop
you must recognize that there are
certain risks inherent in working with industrial tools, including, but not limited
to the exposure to high heat, loud noises, the use of sharp edged power tools,
exposure to dusts and fumes and other industrial shop hazards. The instructor
and the shop technician will instruct you in the safe and proper way to work in
this shop.
Note
from instructor:
As a professional artist over the past forty years I have lived in a
culture that gives me the right to express my visual thoughts as I see fit.
With this freedom I have created works of art that have met with some success,
but none with failure, even though it may have felt like it at the time. I feel
that for this freedom that is given I have the responsibility to share my
visual opinions even if no one buys them. I share my passion for art by
continuing to create it, by showing it in traditional art galleries, by
displaying it in public gardens, and most importantly by teaching what I love
to do to others.
Affirmation
of Inclusion
I feel
that art is a global visual language and can be shared by anyone with anyone.
So I invite you to have this visual conversation with your fellow students and
me.
