Material Safety a. safety video b. safety quiz c. lab safety lecture and laboratory walk through d. safety demonstrations (brush cleaning, paint disposal, etc.) 3. Assess and Critique Paintings Course Objectives Course Objectives Lecture Objectives: 1. Examine and describe historical and contemporary developments, trends, materials, and approaches in painting. 2. Explain safe handling and use of studio painting materials and equipment. 3. Assess and critique paintings in group, individual, and written contexts using relevant critique formats, concepts and terminology. Laboratory Objectives: 1. Create paintings that evince a working knowledge of the physical properties of painting materials. 2. Organize and apply the basic formal elements and principles of design in paintings. 3. Apply the principles of perceptually and theoretically based color theory to painting projects. 4. Construct and prepare painting surfaces and supports. 5. Develop expressive content through manipulation of mark, color, value, and composition. 6. Safely handle and use studio painting materials and equipment. Methods of Evaluation Classroom Discussions Objective Examinations Projects Reading Assignments 1. Read instructor assigned reviews of gallery/museum painting show from a periodical or website. In a one-two page typed paper, analyze and describe the reviewer’s effectiveness in describing visual work with the written word. Differentiate the use of descriptive and vague interpretations in the review. 2. Read about a well-documented artist and give an oral presentation about their work in class, describing style, technique, and historical context of their significant work. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Write a critique on a museum or gallery show about painting you have visited during the semester. In a one-page typed paper evaluate the aesthetic strength and weakness of the show, using correct terminology. 2. Prepare and submit for evaluation a portfolio of artwork completed during the semester. Include a written critique of the work using correct terminology to describe its technical and aesthetic strengths, while also addressing areas in need of development. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. Develop a still life painting every two weeks, outside of class, that further investigates approaches and techniques learned in class. The completion of each painting will be followed by an in-class critique examining the works formal, aesthetic, and technical strengths, while discussing opportunities and strategies towards the painting's development.
