ART 111 DESIGN: COLOR
Course
Description: An introduction and exploration of both theoretical and practical considerations of
color
as it pertains to design. Includes in-class studio work, lectures & discussions,
critique sessions, and extensive
studio time outside of class.
Projects will involve making a
color wheel and several color charts for theoretical
understanding. Students will also
develop original, creative designs that utilize
systematic color interactions for practical approaches to color design problems.
Acrylic paint will be the main medium used for most projects.
Objectives: 1) To understand the basic principles of color theory.
2)
To be introduced to the
vocabulary involved in the study of color.
3) To develop
basic skills in mixing paint necessary to realizing a design in color
from concept to full actualization.
4) To understand the aesthetic and
practical purposes of color used in design.
5) To appreciate the use of color in design and fine art through time and within
cultural contexts.
Textbook: No textbook is
required for this class however a separate Color Bibliography
sheet
with a list of books will be handed out requiring students to choose one
book to write a short journal style* book report.
*Journal
style means including personal reflections on what you are reading
as
well as the traditional book report focus on outlining basic information.
Due Date for Book Report:
Supplies: See the separate SUPPLY LIST handout.
Course Requirements:
There
will be approximately 28-30 assignments over the quarter including the
Book
Report already mentioned above. Assignments will be given out on 3-4
“Assignment
Sheet” handouts but require daily explanations/clarifications so
attentive
attendance is required.
Grading: Minimum Workload: Students must 1.complete, turn in on time, receive a passing grade on a minimum
of 75% of all the assignments, 2. complete
and receive a passing grade on the book report, and 3. have no more than 3 absences in order to receive a passing grade
for the quarter.
Late
assignments
will be accepted only up to 3 days late and all late assignments' grades will
be lowered one grade step for each day late (note that Wednesday to Monday will
count as 3 days late).
Critiques: Participation
in Critiques is mandatory - grades will be lowered on all assignments that have
not participated in a critique session for that particular assignment. Students
are often given the opportunity to redo assignments after a critique session
which is why full participation in critique sessions is mandatory.
Attendance: 4 or more absences
will result in an automatic failure of the course for the quarter. 3
arrive-late/leave-early incidents will count as a 1 day absence.
Quarter grades will be based on
taking the total of the individual assignment grades and dividing it by the
number of required assignments to find the average grade earned.
The 2 lowest grades of the quarter are dropped and students are given the
opportunity to redo a maximum of 3 assignments to attempt to increase a grade.

disability, emergency medical information to share, or need special
