Syllabus
and Dateline
The
following is a list of studio work and homework assignments for Art 120, with
their corresponding dates. Unless
unforeseen circumstances arise, you can assume
these due dates are final. Please
remember that late work will result in a lower grade (one grade per day late)
Late work will not be accepted more
than one week after from the assigned due date. Many
drawing methods will be discussed in class and a number of work assignments and
lab assignments will accompany these topics.
Please keep up with regular attendance, note taking, and bringing the
appropriate drawing materials to class. After three absences it is advised that
you withdraw from the class, more
than 3 absences will equal an F. Tardiness, leaving early and disruptive classroom behavior will also
count as either half day attendance or a complete absence, at my discretion.. Attendance and effort are the most important
factors in determining your grade. As a common courtesy to fellow students and
the classroom environment, cell
phones are to be turned off in class. Speak with me before class if you
must leave your phone on

“Cheating,
stealing and plagiarizing (using the ideas or words of another as one’s own
without crediting the source) and inappropriate/disruptive classroom behavior
are violations of the Student Code of Conduct at Bellevue College.
Examples of unacceptable behavior include, but are not limited to: talking out
of turn, arriving late or leaving early without a valid reason, allowing cell
phones/pagers to ring, and inappropriate behavior toward the instructor or
classmates. The instructor can refer any violation of the Student Code of
Conduct to the Dean of Student Services for possible probation or suspension
from Bellevue College. Specific student rights, responsibilities and
appeal procedures are listed in the Student Code of Conduct, available in the
office of the Dean of Student Services.”
COMMITMENT TO
ACCOMMODATION
“No student shall, on the
basis of his or her disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied
the benefits of, or otherwise be subject to discrimination under any college
program or activity.”
Students with disabilities who have
accommodation needs are required to meet with the Disability Resource Center (DRC) office, room B132 (telephone
425-564-2498 or TTY 425.564.4110), to establish their eligibility for
accommodation. The DRC office will
provide each eligible student with an accommodation letter. Students who
require accommodation in class must review the DRC accommodation letter with each instructor during the first week
of the quarter. Students with mobility challenges who may need assistance in
case of an emergency situation or evacuation should register with Disability Resource Center, or review
those needs with the instructor as well.

** YOUR WORK WILL BE EVALUATED CONSIDERING
YOUR PROFICIENCY IN USING THESE OBJECTIVES IN YOUR DRAWINGS.
MATERIALS: A materials list is given out the first day
of class. You are required to have these materials during class. Lockers are
provided for this purpose. (Do not count on purchasing the necessary materials
during class at the Bookstore. Get them in ADVANCE). If you do not come
prepared to class, you are being inconsiderate to your fellow students and your
grade will suffer.
ASSIGNMENTS: No
handouts will be given regarding your homework assignments. Information on
these assignments will be discussed by the instructor in class. Homework and
in-class assignments are part of the studio work. Directions and demonstrations
regarding the expectations of these assignments will be discussed during the
class. If you miss information regarding an assignment, it is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY to get this information from another student.
TEXT: The text
for this class is Perspective and Other Illusions. There are, however, many other books on
drawing. If you are interested in a
reading list of other drawing books, please ask me.
GRADING: Grades are awarded based upon in-class and
homework drawing assignments as well as attendance and class participation.
Assignments are turned in on a regular basis and graded throughout the quarter.
Refer to the attached SYLLABUS of dates for the specific schedule for this
quarter. The in-class work is designed for the achievement of the above stated
drawing objectives. A studio environment where your instructor can assist you
and answer your questions is critical for the achievement of these objectives; come to class. The homework
assignments will address more in-depth explorations of the techniques discussed
in class. Generally, persons who extend a reasonable effort and MEET ALL THE
REQUIREMENTS (assignments, attendance, etc.) will attain at least a
"C" level, although there are, of course, no guarantees. A
"C" level grade from this course on your transcripts or resumes
signifies that you are COMPETENT in your drawing abilities regarding the above
stated drawing objectives. "B" level will require an above average,
reasonably complete mastery of the drawing objectives. An "A" level
will additionally require outstanding skill development, illustrated by
exceptional drawings completed in both the homework and in-class assignments.
Grading on your work is done on a numerical scale as follows:
A = 9.5 A- = 9.0 B = 8.5 B- = 8.0 C =7.5
C- = 7 D = 6.5 D- = 6
*WORK TURNED IN LATE WILL BE LOWERED A
GRADE
*WORK NOT TURNED IN WILL BE ASSIGNED A ZERO"0"
*STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE AND TURN
IN AT LEAST 75% OF DRAWINGS TO BE AWARDED CREDIT FOR THE COURSE.
The assignments that you turn in
will be graded with the above number scale. For your final grade, these scores
are simply added up and averaged. You can gauge your grade at any time during
the quarter by keeping track of your scores and figuring your average.
An additional element to your grade
(approximately 10%) is your studio final evaluation. This is based on
attendance and work in class. If you have regular attendance (see more on
attendance below), bring the required drawing materials, participate in
critiques, and follow studio instructions, you will have no problems with the
studio evaluation.
ATTENDANCE:
100% attendance is very important to get the benefit of introductory lectures,
slide presentations, assignments and directions, critiques, and the
instructor's help with your work. You are responsible for obtaining information
which you may have missed in not attending class. Drawings completed in the
studio are from still-lives and you must be in class to see them. After
3 absences it is advised that you withdraw from the class, four or more
absences will equal an F. If there
is an extended illness or specific emergency which would warrant an incomplete
grade, you will need to notify your instructor. At least 70% of class work must
be successfully completed in order for an "incomplete" grade to be
assigned.
For a full outline of the Art
& Humanities Procedures and Expectations:
* Student Procedures & Expectations for the Arts and Humanities Division is located at following link: http://bellevuecollege.edu/artshum/policy.html
It is important to be IN the
classroom when class is scheduled to begin. During the first portion of class
is when many instructions and pertinent information is introduced and it is
also when roll is taken. If you miss roll, it is your responsibility to let the
instructor know you have arrived late; otherwise you will be counted
absent. Students leaving half way
through class will also be counted absent for 1/2 day. This a Six hour per
week/Three hours per class session studio course. If you do not feel that you can commit to the
entire six hours per week required, please consider taking another course.
CRITIQUES
AND REVIEWS: In-class drawings will be reviewed on the board
periodically and the homework drawings will be reviewed on the board at the
BEGINNING of the class when due. Any drawing NOT on the bulletin board when it
is due will be considered late. Students will be expected to participate in the
critique/review process. This is an opportunity to ask questions about problems
you may have encountered, to see how other students approached the assignment,
and learn more about how to improve your work.

is a multi-use facility. There are usually three to four sections of drawing
and sometimes painting per quarter. It is important that we keep this room
organized, so PLEASE return your benches and easels to their assigned
areas before leaving the room. Please clean up after yourself. As a common courtesy to fellow students
and the classroom environment, cell phones are to be turned off in class. Speak
with me before class if you must leave your phone on.
Loud talking,
eating and inconsiderate behavior are not encouraged and will adversely effect
your grade. At times you may want to continue working on a
drawing from an in-class still life. If you do want to do some additional work
here, please check the room schedule posted outside. Other instructors are not
to be expected to accommodate you during their classes.
