DescriptionThis is an advanced course addressing the refinement of painting techniques and the introduction of moreadvanced processes. Students will be refreshed in the areas of composition, color, painting materials and studiosafety. Particular attention will be paid to developing content in the students work.

Objectives To review the formal skills of surface preparation, composing paintings, color relationships and mixing,

painting techniques, the use of painting tools and safety in the studio.

To be introduced to more advanced techniques and ideas relating to the development of a body of work. To continue studying a variety of contemporary and historical artists, focusing particularly on the history of

painting.

To continue developing an awareness of the intention of an artist by investigating the relationship betweenform and content.

To continue honing skills in relation to the application of the elements and principles of design. To practice time management skills in relation to studio time both in and out of the classroom.

GradingThe following areas will be considered for grading:

Attendance and participation Project preparation and development Proficiency with techniques, methods and media Craft and presentation Overall artistic merit and improvementAttendance and ParticipationThis is a studio/lab class. Participation is mandatory, therefore attendance is imperative. Participation isnoted through attendance. When you are not in class you are unable to participate in the lab that day.Attendance will be taken right at the beginning of each class. If you come in late or leave early, you will bemarked as being late. Being late 3 times will count as one absence. You will be allowed 3 absences. If youhave used up your three absences and miss a fourth class, 5% will be taken off your final grade in the class. Eachadditional absence will drop your final grade by 5%.

You must come to class prepared to work, which includes having all necessary materials to work the entire classperiod. Coming to class unprepared or not working in the studio will result in the lowering of your grade. Spendclass time wisely working on your projects and think of your classmates and instructor as resources.Participation in class is critical for every student that wishes to pass the course. This is especially true for critiquedays. Talking about your work and your classmates work will help develop your vocabulary and increase yourcomfort with the critiquing process.

Lectures will not be repeated; if you miss class it is your responsibility to obtain this information. Also, the classschedule may adjust according to class needs, so stay informed. Check the class blog for updates, but also be intouch with your classmates.

Project Preparation and DevelopmentAs previously stated, you must come to class prepared to work. You will need to take time outside of class togather materials, develop your ideas and compile visual resources. Project preparation includes spending timedeveloping your concepts for the project, researching appropriate imagery and keeping current with your projectsand homework assignments. The time you spend preparing will result in a more successful work of art in theend. Lack of preparation is evident, and will result in the lowering of your grade.

Proficiency with Techniques, Methods and Media

You are taking this course to learn techniques and mediums specific to Painting. A portion of your grade will bebased on your ability to demonstrate these techniques. Moorpark College standards demand that work receivingan A grade be of superior quality and artistic merit.

Incomplete or partially completed projects will be graded down substantially. Any project not presented at thecritique will be given a zero. You will then have two weeks to turn in your finished project. After thisdate, the zero will stand. Be aware that you will be docked ten points for not presenting your work atthe critique. If you know you are going to miss class the day of the critique, make arrangements to turn in yourwork early (and know that you will be docked in the participation area for this project since you will not bepresent at the critique). The last project must be turned in on the day of the final in order to be included in yourfinal grade.

Craft and PresentationCraft relates to the neatness, precision, and attention to detail that you put into the making of your artwork.Rough edges, stray marks, dents and smudges all add up, and take away from the overall quality of your work.The execution of your ideas is equally as important as the ideas themselves. Presentation is the final step toconsider with any artwork. This includes how you will display the work and what you have titled the piece.

Overall Artistic Merit and ImprovementThe artistic merit of your work is based on my subjective opinion of how the piece turned out visually. In thisarea, I will consider compositional and design choices, the level of innovation and creativity I see in the work,and how well you were able to combine form and content. Over the course of the semester I will also considerhow your work and skills have improved.

Final GradesPaintings: Self-Portrait 100 pointsNarrative Painting 100 pointsGradual Abstraction 100 pointsPainting Collaboration 50 pointsTotal 350 points

Final grades will be based on a full letter scale (meaning no +/-). Unfinished work will receive a zero, which willbe averaged into the final grade.

A (100-90): Extraordinary effortthe student has gone far beyond what is required in craftsmanship,substance, thought process, and quality. The work truly stands out.

B (89-80): Above average effort, where the work is well executed in quality, craftsmanship, substance, andthought process. The solution to the design challenge is remarkable and clearly beyond project description. C (79-70): Average effort; work meets medium standard in quality, crafts, substance, and thought process. D (69-60): Meets minimum requirement of the project description and has minimum effort; the

craftsmanship and quality of work is less than the standard and unremarkable.

F (59-0): FailureExtra credit will be offered during the semester. This is the only extra credit I will accept. Anything writtenmust be typed and presented as a college level paper or it will not be accepted. You may not turn in extra creditif you have not completed all course projects.

Studio Conduct and Rules No eating in class. Drinking is permissible, but be careful! Drinks with tops/lids are preferable. Beverages

should never be left near artworkkeeping drinks on the floor is your best bet.

Cell phones must absolutely be turned off in the studio (unless you are a parent, then please turn ringer tovibrate function). Using your phone during class will result in its confiscation until the end of the period.Break time may be used to return calls.

In general, I dont let students wear headphones for music. The studio is a community that you should beinvolved with. We play music in the classroom so dont close yourself off from your neighbors by tuningthem out with music.

Respectgive it to everyone! Treat others as you wish to be treated and be sure that your behavior does notinterfere with the learning of other students. This means no talking when I am addressing the class.

Supply List

Acrylic Paint Start with these colors, get 2 fl.oz tubes. Stick with Golden, Graham or Liquitex brands. Stayaway from Liquitex Basics or any craft paint, it is too thin.

Cadmium Red MediumAlizarin CrimsonCadmium Orange MediumCadmium Yellow LightYellow OchrePthalo Green, blue shadePthalo Blue, red shade

Ultramarine BlueDioxazine PurpleQuinacridone MagentaBurnt SiennaBurnt UmberMars BlackTitanium White (you can get a larger tube of white if you like)

Gear and suppliesAcrylic medium: matte or gloss (no textures)Spray bottlePalette knifeColor WheelSketchbook/Journal (must be a bound journal, no loose papers)

Small containers with lids for mixed paint storagePalette (plastic, glass, wood or paper)Soap and container (The Masters soap is good!)Bigger container for water (rinsed plastic food containers are good)Rags (old t-shirts work great for this)

Brushes Brushes are largely a personal preference, and you will figure out what brushes work best for youover time. Dont feel like you need to buy expensive brushes. For our purposes cheap, synthetic hair brusheswill work the best. As far as shapes and sizes, the beginner should start with a range of sizes (about 3-4brushes) of each shape:

Flats: 2, 6, 8 and a 1 Rounds: 2, 6, 10 and a large brush Filbert: 4, 8 and 10

These are recommendations. You can select whatever brushes you think will work the best for you. You mayalready have a preference, but now is the time to experiment as you are learning new techniques. There aregreat kits available on the internet and in stores, so look for a deal once you know what kind of brushes youlike.
