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. Traditional and contemporary skills are explored in this course. A331 focuses on intermediate level studies of the human figure including skeletal and musculature studies, working from the live model and self-portraiture. Students expand upon skills learned in A330. 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.
