New 2012 Fall Syllabus
Painting—AR261/262/263—Fall/Winter 2012
Professor Julia Healy
http://paintingatqcc.blogspot.com
Introduction: This course will explores painting at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. Students will be divided into groups and will work on assignments or continue pursuing their individual directions. Some basic instruction on learning "to see" will be given to beginners, as necessary. If you are an intermediate or advanced student, you should bring in examples of previous work, as well as ideas you wish to work on. It is always best to work from real life, but you may work from your own photographs. Do not work from reproductions, calendars or magazine illustrations if at all possible.
We might have monies for a live model for 2-3 weeks and we will be scheduling one if there is enough interest.
Attendance and Lateness: Attendance is mandatory. There is no substitute for working and participating in class. Three absences are grounds for a failing grade.
Please be on time. Class begins promptly at 6 p.m. Two tardies will be counted as one absence. If you will have an ongoing scheduling conflict, please discuss it with me at the beginning of the semester. Note that parking is always an issue, so allow time to find a space or take public transportation.
Grading: Individual grades will be given for each painting and averaged to make up 90% of your grade. Class participation will count for another 10%.
261 Rubrics for each painting:
To receive a D, make a painting as assigned
To receive a C, make a painting as assigned and show that you can make it
three-dimensional using light and dark
To receive a B, make a painting as assigned, show that you can create a three- dimensional effect using light and dark and show that you understand how to mix and blend color
To receive an A, make a painting as assigned, show that you can create a 3D effect using light and dark, show that you understand how to mix and blend color and show that you can create texture and surface and are developing your own style
Supplies: Materials and supplies for this class are expensive, but there is no overpriced textbook to buy! We will discuss how to approach buying the materials the first class. You must come prepared to work every week, with all the materials you need. Do not expect other students to lend you paint, brushes and canvases!!!
