Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) INTERMED PAINTING

Current Course Description: A studio course to strengthen skills in oil painting techniques. Extensive inquiry into the relationship between formal application and expression in painting. Exploration of contemporary issues in painting. Prerequisite: A380

New Course Description: A studio course to strengthen skills in oil painting techniques. Form and structure of the figure will be covered. Prerequisite: A380

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. Justification for changing this course from 3 to 4 credits is that students will be expected to complete 6 projects instead of the 4 projects that was previously required. 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 who took this course in the past gained a little experience painting the figure, now the entire term will be dedicated toward the form and structure of the figure.

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