Supplemental Materials:
A. Budget some money for photo copies for assignments

IV. Course Format:
As a distance learning course, lectures will be in the form of videos sent to the students and received prior to starting the online class time.
Lectures will follow the format found in the textbook with supplemental reading assigned to cover related topics.
The semester will involve video lectures, class and group discussions, reading, writing and responding to assignments, visiting artists and galleries, library research art projects, and student presentations.
Some internet exploration of art sites may be required.
V. Course Requirements:
A. The textbook should be read in advance of discussion on each chapter. It is suggested that the student take notes. Notes taken while reading may be used during the exam.
1. Art projects and exercises will be assigned in conjunction with the chapters
2. All written assignments are to be typed
3. Please include the following information in the top right corner of all written assignments and on the back of all art projects: Name, Art 110 D/DC, assignment name, and date.
B. Students are to view the videotapes as assigned on the course calendar.
1. Once again, notes should be taken just as one would during any live lecture.
2. These notes will also be allowed during examinations.
Each student will complete a term paper on an art interview. Write the paper as a personal interview between yourself and the artists. Write as a conversation. Look at a magazine or television talk show - be creative, as the artists may no longer be living. The first 2 weeks will allow you to research geographical and historical periods and style to help you select an individual artist. Use your textbook for starters and spend time in the libraries looking for books. I will need to know whom you have selected by Thursday, January 24th, during class. Start now: select an artist whose artwork excites and intrigues you. No duplication. First come first served. Have a back up artist in the wings in case your first artist is selected ahead of you.
Your term paper should include:
1. The artist’s culture background, and place in history.
2. The artist’s training, style, influences and techniques.
3. From 1-3 specific works of the artist, discussing those pieces and including
photocopies of them within the paper. At least one page of the paper will be used to
discuss two specific art works. At least one page of the paper will be used to discuss
two specific art works
Focus on your own personal responses
to the work and not someone else’s review.
The paper will be:
i. Five to six pages, double-spaced, plain illustrations, cover page, and annotated bibliography. Use 1” margins. Bind in term paper folder. No plastic sleeves except on term paper.
ii. Correct in grammar, spelling and writing style
iii. At least four different reference sources which include books and periodicals. The internet should not be your primary source.
iv. Written without footnotes, but credit giving through an annotated bibliography.
v. Due to the course calendar and scheduling, no late papers will be accepted!
You will be given six art exercises relating to the topics covered in the lectures and the text. Each should be approached as fun and not threatening. Dive in and enjoy yourself and the experience as it pertains to you personally. These exercises will not be graded! But they will be noted in the grade book and may make a difference in our grade if you are on the edge of one grade or another. Reports of art exercises will be accompanied with a one page typed follow-up.
There will be three exams during the course of the semester.
i. Exam #1:
There will be a pre-course exam given the first day of class
RELAX ~ This exam will not count!
It will be used to access the amount of knowledge the students possesses as they approach this course. Information gleaned from this exam will help to determine the progress the students make and also help instructor measure his success in imparting the information.
ii. Exam #2: (Mid-term exam)
Will cover material of videotapes 1-9 1/2and reading assignments up through the study of Leonardo Da Vinci
iii. Exam #3: (Final Exam
Will include information from videotapes 9 ½ through 16 including the surrealists)
*Exams will include reference to specific art works and related information covered in the text and video presentations. Written exams will allow the use of notes taken during lectures as well as those taken from the readings. Open-book!
Class attendance and participation in classroom discussions, activities and assignments is
required. If any excused absence does occur, make-up work is the responsibility of the
student and will be accepted the week the student returns to class. For each unexcused
absence over three, your grade will lower one letter grade. Tardiness is not polite. If you
arrive after roll has been taken, it will be noted in the grade book. Three “lates” will be
regarded as an absence.
Assignments will require approximately 8 hours per week outside of class. Determine the
pace at which you work and schedule your time accordingly.
Grades are viewed as a necessary mechanism for communicating the assessment of student’s work, participation, and progress, not as a reward for quantity of time spent in a project. Grades should be interpreted in the following manner:
4.0 A. Excellent work: Superior execution and understanding of the issues, excellent
attendance.
3.0 B. Above average work: Good achievement in quality and understanding of the
issues.
2.0 C. Average work: Adequate achievement in quality and understanding the issues.
1.0 D. Below average work: Incomplete understanding of issues, not conforming to
procedural requirements.
0 F. Unacceptable work / No submission.
General breakdown of grading points: General grading criteria that apply to all work are: Thoroughness of research, craftsmanship, timeliness of completion, innovation of ideas and process, and commitment to class and work.

ASSIGNMENT: “Make a Print” – You may try one or two processes.
1. “Relief Print” – carve into the cut side of a potato. (Remember: the “raised” areas will receive the ink or paint. You could use tempera paint of even some left over latex house paint. After “inking” your potato, press your design on to a paper. You could repeat your design or even change colors.
2. “Intaglio Print” – Make a plastic lid etching, cut the rim off a plastic lid from a coffee can or ice cream bucket. Scratch your design into the plastic lid using a sharp nail or the point of a school compass. You should scratch pretty deep for the ink to hold. (Hint: Since you can see through the plastic lid, you could place it down over your drawing to guide you). Remember to “Cross-hatch” the areas you want darker. Ink your “etched” plate using wax shoe polish. Wipe your plate with stiff paper towels. (You want the ink to stay in the lines only). To print: Have a sheet of drawing paper or construction paper soaking in a tray or sink. When ready to print, blot your print paper with paper towels. You want the paper wet but not shiny. Place a thin scrap of plywood down on your driveway in front of your front tire. Place your inked plate and your print paper into a folded section of newspaper. (These will be your blankets). Now place your print “sandwich” on the plywood and place another piece of plywood over the “sandwich”. Your car becomes the press. Once over the piece should do. Remover board, newspaper blankets, and “pull” your print.
3. Plan your prints as a part invitation or a greeting card.
4. Send one print to instructor with a brief report of your experiment. Did it work? Any problems? What were your impressions? Fun or not? Did your husband, wife, or neighbors think you were nuts? DUE: March 20th
