To:
Course Prefix & Number	Descriptive Title	Credits/Hours
A115	Beginning Design: 2-Dimensional	4 -

Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) BEG DESIGN 2-D

Current Course Description: Beginning theory and studio practice using the elements and principles of visual design to articulate visual ideas in the two-dimensional arts.

New Course Description: Beginning theory and studio practice using the elements and principles of visual design to articulate visual ideas in the two-dimensional arts. Introduction to theoretical concepts of color and application of color in the principles of design.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): This course change proposal is part of a larger reorganization process to shift all studio art courses from 3 credits to 4 credits. This change will enable students to complete the program efficiently in a four-year degree plan. As a result, the reduced course load will allow students to invest more time per course and increase the potential for greater progress in each subject. This change will also ease the department¿s scheduling grid, and permit increased student access to studio equipment and workspace as students prepare artwork between class sessions. This change in credits will align our program with art programs in both the 4-year universities and 2-year community colleges in Oregon. Students transferring from quarter and/or semester academic programs will typically experience more accurate credit equivalencies with WOU art courses under this proposed system. Part of this realignment includes the cancellation of three foundation courses from the art curriculum. Critical material from A117 (Beginning Design: Color) course will be absorbed into A 115, justifying the increase in credits. The 4-credit version of A115 will include essential concepts in color theory and its relationship to the principles and elements of design. Students will be expected to complete 8 projects instead of the previous 6 projects. Successful completion of projects will require approximately 8-10 hours a week outside of class time, a proportional increase from previous expectations. Students will be graded on the average of the eight projects and two quizzes.

Students/Program affected: LACC students, Art majors, Studio Art minors, BFA.
