Course Objectives
SA111 is an introductory course in two-dimensional drawing, composition, perception, and interpretation of two-dimensional visual forms. The course covers the fundamental elements of drawing, both traditional techniques, and innovative ones while focusing on creative problem-solving.
The course creates a rigorous investigative environment and experiential approach that engages students to develop critical thinking and the innovative making of creative work with a deep understanding of design concepts, historical references and a variety of technical applications in both wet and dry media.
Through observation and abstract explorations, demos and a wide variety of projects, students will gain a deeper understanding of the creative process and its evolution from initial concept sketches to finished, thoroughly developed drawings.
As a foundational course, one intentional goal of the Studio Art program is for the beginning student to develop experience in the reading of 2D images, become proficient in a drawing’s interpretation, develop the responsibility as image-makers, become aware of visual systems of different cultures, acquire the intellectual tools to have the ability to ask critical questions, while heightening the student’s personal experience with a variety of drawing applications.
As a core component in the studio art curriculum, it is anticipated that students will explore traditional and innovative drawing techniques that in turn will expand each student’s understanding of the principals of design while heightening their visual awareness. Additionally, group critiques will guide students through various approaches to creative problem solving and unique solutions.
Students will explore the difference between subjective and objective drawing, the balance between freedom and control, explore mark making systems in the production of visual meaning.

Curriculum Snapshot : Learning Objectives
- Develop visual literacy with a working knowledge and practice of the visual language.
- Understand and put into practice the fundamental design principles in thoughtful articulate concepts and expressions.
- Be introduced to Western and non-Western perspectival drawing practices, concept implications and drawing applications.
- Develop critical analysis skills.
- Engage and improve intellectual performance by advancing towards informed responses to artistic working ideas, practices, skills, processes and outcomes.
- Gain a deeper understanding of the world of art and ideas as well as one’s own process and production within it.
- Work and practice in a variety of wet and dry media in two-dimensional expressions.
- Construct metaphoric, narrative and analogous visual articulations while creating conceptual bridges between representation and various drawn translations.
Working Methods
Frequent slide presentations, hands-on studio activity, readings, research, writing, class demonstrations, class discussion, and critique will introduce a variety of interpretations on how creative thinkers have perceived and used visual concepts and elements in their own interpretations.
Classes will involve students in traditional and innovative approaches to two-dimensional studio practices.
Expectations: Progress + Development
Creativity requires an open mind, a curious nature, dedication to one’s work, and a commitment to developing as a creative thinker.
Each student needs to approach their projects creatively, with the dedication necessary to fulfill each of their assignments.
SA111 involves personal expression and self-examination; thoughtfulness and respect for one’s self, others and the creative practice.
The atmosphere in the studio should be one of mutual respect, courteous with colleagues, faculty, guests, and with the work at hand. We are cultivating a relationship between you and your work, you and your critic, you and your colleagues. Students’ work ethic will show in each project. Issues will emerge during the course that will prompt a general discussion required by all students.
Each student contributes to the studio setting.
To establish a dynamic and creative studio setting each student is required to submit assignments on time and completed to the best of their ability.
Students are expected to create work that is thorough, exhaustive, and well crafted.
- It is expected that each student put 1 hour of time toward their homework equal to each hour spent in class. 6 hours in = 6 hours out (a campus-wide practice)
- A student cannot rest on previous skills alone – you must show a willingness to explore and to take risks!
- Understand and apply design concepts, techniques, and vocabulary.
- Sustain a conscious, serious effort throughout. Cultivate self-motivation!
- Make use of class time effectively and continue to develop variations even if the student believes they have “completed” an assignment.
- Participate in all class discussions and critiques.
- Encourage further discussion with the professor should the student not be understanding a concept, technique or drawing application.
- Complete all assignments on time.
- Purchase all materials on the supply list without exception.
- Arrive on time, be prepared and stay for the duration of the class.
Research / Personal Journals: The Sketchbook
Research is an expectation of all students throughout the Studio Art curriculum.
All sketchbooks are evidence of investment in exploration and continued learning.
Sketchbooks are a key tool in idea generation.
Sketchbooks are a way to think in two dimensions and store ideas for future use as well as a way to work through ideas before investing large amounts of time in a finished work. Sketchbooks are mandatory for all Studio Art foundational studies courses and are factored into project grades.
Sketchbooks should illustrate:
- Exercise the foundational principles and elements of design.
- A repository to keep all lecture notes in
- A place to develop small thumbnail and concept drawings
- Explore and put into practice the historical precedent and contemporary approaches concerning visual representation.
- Illustrate a growth in the student’s critical analytical skills.
- A place to develop concept thumbnail sketches towards further refinement.
- A place for weekly concept drawings covered in class including observational, chiaroscuro value studies, color articulation and applications, gestural, experimental and mark making drawings.
Observational Sketchbook drawings
- Included in sketchbooks, students will continue to practice what has been covered in class for the week’s concentration.
- This is a good repository in concept development, the evolution of your thoughts, jotting down notes during lectures, videos, and presentations.
- Assignment brainstorming and concept sketches will be included in sketchbooks as appropriate to the semester’s pacing schedule.
- Keep all your research notes in your sketchbook - it is your think tank.
- Sketchbook ideas will demonstrate your brainstorming for all assignments and will be copied and submitted with your projects as a part of the overall evaluation.
Deconstructive Analysis Sketchbook Entries
Throughout the semester, each student will complete 2 research papers with a multimedia presentation component presented to the class of your selected drawings and research.
Students will present the two chosen examples in their multimedia presentation and will note on each slide, and in the following order:
Students will present the two chosen examples in their multimedia presentation and will note on each slide, and in the following order:
ARTIST/DESIGNER
TITLE
YEAR
DIMENSIONS (h x w x d in inches and in cm)
MEDIA
Found images will be pasted into sketchbooks noting the URL bibliographical source
Students will make a number of notes that thoroughly describe the fundamental elements of design application (at least 4 elements per work minimum).
Schematic drawings may be made directly onto the printed image, noting the elements exact placement. Follow the example provided.
Student responsibilities and expectations
It is the student’s responsibility to be prepared with their own study as well as all assignments in a thoughtful and engaging manner.
Students need to be wary of time management concerns and restraints of the term. Should a student not understand an assignment fully, or have an idea of how to extend an assignment, the student needs to take the initiative and contact the professor.
Students need to check their college e-mail accounts daily. This is the form I will contact you through.
Students need to keep up with new course materials loaded onto the course Blog.

Class Hours + Engagement
The effort that each student invests in the class – and throughout the campus – will be reflected in their work.
The grade a student earns will also reflect personal time spent and their effort made.
The grade a student earns will also reflect personal time spent and their effort made.
Make a commitment to this class and you will be rewarded with exciting growth in your own artistic/cultural knowledge, thinking and perhaps even practice.
This commitment requires cooperation, hard work, dedication, creativity, motivation, and perhaps most critically being open to input and new ideas and a willingness to receive mentorship.

Attendance, Participation + Your Professionalism:
However, a weak showing in this area can severely reduce your grade.
Tardiness and absences will greatly hinder student progress in this course. Class absences will not only keep you unprepared for the next class meeting but will no doubt keep you confused on the material.
In an extreme case students who miss class, are responsible for notifying faculty prior to class start time.
Class policy
A strong showing in this category can increase a student's final grade by a half grade, i.e. c+ becomes b-, b becomes b+!

In an extreme case students who miss class, are responsible for notifying faculty prior to class start time.
* Should any student have an absence from our course, it is vital that the student is prepared with all class notes missed, copied from their journals and submitted to me prior to the start time of class for review.
** Should a student have four unexcused class absences it will significantly jeopardize the student's final grade by dropping it one grade. Thus a B- becomes a C+ :(
Evaluation
The quality of the semester is what students bring to it. It is expected that one’s participation is committed and remains active. SA 111 : Drawing: Perception + Composition requires serious engagement in all facets of the semester’s preparations: readings, discussion, initiated participation, research, study, thoughtfulness in critical thinking and one's own planning.
Students should always set high standards for their own work.
Students are to attend class every day and be prepared with assignments, readings and discussion notes, always!
It is important that the student be prepared to initiate discussion regarding current readings and come to class with thorough notes. Intellectual understanding and exploration of the readings and individual drive are significant factors in grading a student’s level of participation.
Hard work and improvement are recognized and therefore, will positively impact a student’s grade.
Lack of preparation, disengagement from coursework, poor note taking, test scores, avoidance of assignments and general lack of participation in discussion, incomplete and not prepared work will result in a lower grade.
William Kentridge Drawing from Stereoscope (1998-99)
Standards for evaluation + grading overview
Grades are based on a number of factors that include class participation, attendance, attitude, effort, project execution, project evolution, improvement, writing examples and test scores.
It is important that the student be prepared to initiate a discussion regarding current readings and come to class with thorough notes. Should class discussion become a one-person conversation I will have to resort to popping quizzes, thus clearly defining who is prepared with the reading of the day and who is not.
Superior excellence in all of these areas, on a continual basis, will earn an “A” for the course.
Continuing to show improvement and quality of work is constantly well executed, will earn a “B” for the course.
Fulfilling the requirements of the course is considered average and will earn a “C”.
Grading is an individual process, but general standards will be used to evaluate student performance in order to assign a letter grade and will be presented to you following major projects on a fair and thoughtful EVALUATION RUBRIC.
Assignments and test scores will be the primary source of your grade and you will be expected to work outside of class for approximately one hour for every hour of class. This should also follow your work in any other class you participate in.

Informed speculation is encouraged.
Intellectual understanding and exploration of the readings and projects, the ability to initiate research, and individual drive throughout each project are significant factors in grading a student’s level of participation.
Methods of Evaluation
Grades are determined by the following:
Hard work and improvement are recognized.
Demonstration of this will positively impact a student’s grade.
Lack of preparation, disengagement from his/her work, avoidance of tests and due dates, lack of participation in discussion, incomplete and not prepared work will result in a lower grade.
Should a student be performing below an adequate level, the student will be notified as soon as it is evident and a meeting will be scheduled to address deficiencies.
Research and project assignments will be considered in terms of concept, through participation with the studio work at hand or in their research and written expression.
Students should set high standards for their own work.
Although the process is an essential component of the studio, a legible, refined and thoughtfully crafted representation is the expected outcome of all assignments.
Informed speculation and experimentation are encouraged.
It is important that the student is prepared in the studio and initiate a discussion regarding their projects. The student should be able to explain the conceptual ideas underlying their work, the accurate formal principles being employed as well as being able to question and incorporate suggestions offered in critique.
Intellectual understanding and exploration of the readings and projects, the ability to initiate research, and individual drive throughout each project are significant factors in grading a student’s level of participation.
Hard work and improvement are recognized.
Therefore, in addition to completing exquisitely crafted projects, engaged work and participation will positively impact a student’s grade.
Lack of preparation, disengagement from his/her work, avoidance of critiques, lack of participation in discussion, incomplete and not prepared work will result in a lower grade.
Should a student be performing below an adequate level, the student will be notified as soon as it is evident and a meeting will be scheduled to address deficiencies.
Course Policy: Attendance
Attendance and punctuality are absolutely mandatory.
It is impossible to learn if you are not here!
Students are to attend class every day and be prepared with materials, assignments, readings, and papers always! Attendance and punctuality are required and are significant components of your commitment to your work.
Tardiness and absences will greatly hinder student progress in this course.
Students who miss class, in an extreme case, are responsible to notify their faculty prior to class start time.
If a student knows they will be absent, make arrangements with the instructor as soon as you are able to find out what you will/or have missed.
Students who miss class, in an extreme case, are responsible to notify their faculty prior to class start time.
If a student knows they will be absent, make arrangements with the instructor as soon as you are able to find out what you will/or have missed.
Students who are absent from a class are expected to be prepared with ALL assignments and readings due at the next class meeting.
All assignments are to be completed in a thoughtful and timely manner.
All assignments are to be completed in a thoughtful and timely manner.
There are 14 weeks in the semester
6 studio class hours per week
= 84 in class hours for the entire semester + 84 out side class hours = 168 total semester hours
We have a lot of material to cover this semester; missing class will impact your knowledge of what is being taught.
Absences will adversely affect your growth as a student and obviously, your final grade.
If necessary, students may miss two excused absences (6 hours).
Beyond this, I need to be informed of the reason and each absence will negatively dock 2.5% from the student's final grade.

Beyond this, I need to be informed of the reason and each absence will negatively dock 2.5% from the student's final grade.
Should a student accumulate 5 absences (totaling 15 hours) they will not successfully be able to complete the course work and will be asked to withdraw from the class.
The responsibility is yours.
Quality participation is characterized by the following:
• On time attendance at each class meeting
• Active, enthusiastic participation in class discussions
• Student exhibits on-going effort and keeps up with all assignments
• Preparation and understanding of assignments, research. The student continues to ask thoughtful questions
• Responding to others’ comments in a responsible and constructive manner
• Contributing regularly to the class and mind fullness of others comments
A student’s work performance in class is based on the instructor’s observation and record of the student’s personal performance in the following areas:
• Attitude, demeanor – courteous, respectful, teachable, considerate of other students’ needs for concentration.
• Attendance, punctuality, and handing in work on time.
• Participation in class projects, in critiques and discussions, within collaborative projects.
• Conduct – Helping to create an atmosphere conducive to learning.
Your projects will be evaluated according to the following criteria: the effective visual communication of your assignments, and in some cases, your note-taking skills, your display of critical thinking in connecting art historical and cultural information together, evidence of individual growth through discussion, class presentations and research papers, making use of the vocabulary presented throughout the course during class discussion and in all student papers.
Evaluation + Grading
Method of Evaluation:
Thorough and exhaustive Sketchbook = 10% of final grade
Numerical Equivalencies
We need to realize that world experience produces difference in all people.
Our differences often make communication and understanding difficult to comprehend, or even agree with, when considering the ideas of others.
The key is to listen and be considerate of all people.
Respect for others is mandatory and non-negotiable. Please note that failure to adhere to confidentiality is a serious offense carrying severe penalties.
At the beginning of each full academic term, all new students receive a comprehensive orientation to the College's expectations regarding academic honesty.
It is expected that each student in this course will carry out all the assignments appropriately and that all work submitted by the student will be her or his own.
Cazenovia College’s policy for students who abuse the academic honesty policy is as follows:
Second offense is reported to the Dean of Faculty and depending on the circumstances, the student may fail the course.
Third offense, depending on the circumstances, the student may be dismissed from the college. A description of plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty are to be found in the online Student Handbook @ www.cazenovia.edu
Ongoing participation in class and with projects = 60% of final grade
The overall quality of student work is directly reflective on one’s involvement with the class and outside studio practice.
Strong participation will naturally impact student development and therefore, grade positively.
These are both the minor projects that emphasize the development of fundamental design principles, methods explorations and media advancement, and the final major project at the semester’s conclusion.
The reworking of a project after the initial critique will be allowed at the discretion of the instructor.
Student work is graded on imagination, originality, concept, process, understanding, and implementation of design principles, craftsmanship and a successful solution to the problem given.
The safe way is not the best way in visual production, taking risks and experimentation are vital to keeping one’s work fresh and exciting. Incomplete projects will receive an F.

2 multimedia presentations + research papers = 20% of final grade (10% each)
Research is an expectation of all students. Students will be assigned to complete two specific research topics that will be compiled electronically and delivered to the class.
There will be two multimedia presentations that each student will present to the class as a whole during the course of the semester. A formal research paper will accompany each presentation. The paper will include one-page biographical information on the artist/group, followed by two drawing examples that are thoroughly deconstructed through the formal elements. Each drawing should express at minimum four formal elements, devoting two pages per drawing discussion. Followed by a minimum of four paragraphs of summary and MLA or APA bibliography.
Thus, papers should be four written pages (not 3.25) in length.
Papers are to be submitted on the date of the presentation.
Both papers must be vetted through
Grammarly.com > https://app.grammarly.com with adherence to the mechanics of writing.
See page on Paper Requirements for specific details.
Both papers should illustrate depth full and thorough research practices and information on the selected subject.
Collaborative project: Innovative tool / application workshop = 10% of final grade
One shorter collaborative project with a group of four students who will investigate an innovative tool/material/application by an artist who makes use of it. Student groups will lead a short 10-minute workshop of their research with the class.
Indicates continual concept development, research, and on-going practice.
Your sketchbook will exhibit an on-going engagement with it as your think tank.
You may find images of visual forms that make use of the concepts being covered in the course that week.
Add them into your sketchbook, including bibliographical source, artist/designer, title, year, materials.

Standards of Grading
The typical "A" student will consistently follow all readings, take excellent notes, do a stellar job on all test scores, attend all classes and complete all assignments on time; follow all instructions, demonstrate above average skills and creativity in completing assignments, turn in consistently good work equally important.
The A student will conduct research, integrate information from other classes and experiences, will not opt for an easy way out, will hand in work on time and in a well-presented manner, will participate fully in class, ask questions and do extra work when needed in the pursuit of knowledge and greater ability.
The work produced is exemplary and sets a benchmark for other students; actively participating in class discussions and critiques with a sustained high level of curiosity. In short, the A student will be a responsible and active learner throughout, while completing stellar work.

The work produced is exemplary and sets a benchmark for other students; actively participating in class discussions and critiques with a sustained high level of curiosity. In short, the A student will be a responsible and active learner throughout, while completing stellar work.
The “B” student will attend all classes and complete all assignments on time; follow all instructions, demonstrates above average skills and creativity in completing assignments, turn in consistently above average, good work though some further development of knowledge and skills is possible; frequently contribute to discussions and critiques and complete good work overall.
The typical “C” student will have less than perfect attendance; complete all assignments and tests scores with average skills, attitude, and creativity demonstrating a limited commitment to the learning process, average use of materials, and ideas that need further development. Occasionally contribute to class discussions and critiques. The “C” student performs average work.
The “D” student has poor attendance; seldom meets deadlines, may have an unconcerned attitude; work below average; contribute very little to class discussions.
The “F” student continues to display poor attendance; seldom meet deadlines; turn in poor work; has a poor attitude, and/or impervious to the learning process. This type of student will fail the course.
All assignments are to be completed in a thoughtful and timely manner.
The grade of “C” indicates an adequate level of overall work to gain credit for the course; a “B” means a student has achieved a more than adequate level of work. To excel, as indicated by an “A” requires a superior level of skill, concept, quantity, professionalism, risk, and a surpassing depth of SA111 seriousness. Moving beyond a “C” in this course will require your very best efforts in all areas of your output and growth in academic rigor.
Undergraduate Grading

Course Policy
The atmosphere throughout this course is to create a community of active learners.
We need to realize that world experience produces difference in all people.
Our differences often make communication and understanding difficult to comprehend, or even agree with, when considering the ideas of others.
We need to create a safe space where individuals can interject their ideas even if they may not be reflective of others.
Our space needs to be one where people are encouraged to ask questions, and not worry if they don’t have the ‘right’ answer, and have the space to take a wild guess by connecting earlier information together.
Each of us needs to remain active participants in the world of learning.
Our course together asks you to cultivate a relationship of mutual respect between each other and the work at large and your faculty. This respect, and is hoped, may extend outside the walls of this community into the world in general.
The key is to listen and be considerate of all people.
Confidentiality
Self-expression and honest reflection will take place through our discussions, readings and written work. It is expected that each student will recognize that s/he will be privy to personal information about others in the class and must protect their privacy of the others by exercising strict confidentiality outside of class.
When discussing class content outside of class it is recommended that all identifying descriptors be removed from statements so that the statements cannot be attributed directly to the individual who had made the statement.
Academic Honesty
Cazenovia College is committed to academic honesty.
The Committee on Academic honesty reviews all reported cases of alleged plagiarism, cheating on examinations, undocumented copying of art, and similar forms of academic dishonesty.
At the beginning of each full academic term, all new students receive a comprehensive orientation to the College's expectations regarding academic honesty.
It is expected that each student in this course will carry out all the assignments appropriately and that all work submitted by the student will be her or his own.
Academic dishonesty in any form (e.g., cheating in exams, using another's plan or project, fabricating a study, plagiarism, etc.) is a serious offense with severe penalties. At the very least, the student will receive an F on the particular assignment or exam in question.
Cazenovia College’s policy for students who abuse the academic honesty policy is as follows:
The first offense the student is given a warning. Depending on the circumstances, the student may fail the course.
Third offense, depending on the circumstances, the student may be dismissed from the college. A description of plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty are to be found in the online Student Handbook @ www.cazenovia.edu
