New Course Description: Continued study of drawing as a means of self-expression. Exploration of traditional drawing media, methods and compositional theory will be covered. Prerequisite: A116, A119, A230.

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. The objective of this course is to develop technical drawing and observational ability while exploring and developing individual content. Students are expected to develop and practice communicating a broad drawing related vocabulary. Traditional and contemporary skills are explored in this course. Students expand upon skills learned in A130 and A230. A variety of materials are used, including traditional graphite, charcoal, India ink, and conte as well as mixed media and collage. Students hone skills in observational drawing, including measure and proportion, perspective, spatial relationships, planar and value studies of a variety of subjects. Students are required to turn in a midterm and final portfolio for review and grading. Additional bi-weekly homework is assigned. To adequately justify adding one credit of coursework, students will be expected to complete a proportionate amount of additional homework/drawing exercises outside of class time. Successful completion of projects will require approximately 8-10 hours a week outside of class time, a proportional increase from previous expectations. Expectations of student progress in the course will also increase accordingly.

Students/Program affected: Art major, Studio Art minor, BFA.
