DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE:

An introduction to the basic elements in drawing. Line and mass as a means to explore objective

and spatial concepts in various media. Satisfies core requirement in Fine Arts.

Art in all of its forms is a means of expression, a cultural value and the basis for the evolutionary

progression of the imagination and integral formation of the student. It serves not just to express

feeling and moods, but also to transmit ideas and knowledge. As such, techniques must be

considered instruments or means and not ends. Any student can develop the feelings associated

with observation and learn to be sensitive to a well-crafted work of art. Just the same, any

student can find their own “self” with which to express their creativity and their own vision and

experience of the world around them.

This course is based on the reproduction of everyday reality in the form of static and dynamic

models. An academic or "classical" education must be followed, which is governed by

established rules, which over time and with personal evolution will be forgotten in favor of the

expression of each individual.

Models (still life) will be used, simples at the begining, almost geometric, with few elements and

a reduced color range, and we will complicate the compositions in all their aspects, in order to

reproduce classic statues, live models and outdoor exercises.

COURSE GOALS

Imagination. Production of new and original ideas in which the student will develop his or her

own expressive world. Development of creative liberty and analysis through both intuitive and

investigative work creating a permanent debate around the individual work of each student.

Theoretical knowledge. Learn the history of painting- precedents, how, why and where do

different trends emerge. The economic and communicative purpose of visual art.

Observation. Observation is essential to understanding form and it is also mentally enriching to

learn to recognize an image. Thinking about a model through observation is the same as mentally

drawing it and, as such, increases a student’s ability to retain and to imagine.

Synthesize. Students will learn to focus on the essential form and not get distracted by

superfluous details, practicing the synthesis of form through immediate capture experiences, by

reproducing a model with only one line, studio projects with models that are both dynamic and

gestural, and developing the ability to retain an image.

Techniques and materials. Gaining experience with the correct and complete manipulation of

materials, techniques and processes related to drawing.

Volume. Proportion, contrast, and composition, Create works that have a three-dimensional

effect, are balanced, and are similar to the models or to nature, achieving distinct sensations

depending on the intonation and placement within the format of the work.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, students will:

Correctly apply working methodology with pre-sketches, fit, fill and details.

Learn the correct use of materials such as charcoal, chalk, pen and mineral charcoal for shading,

volume, contrast and light and shadows effects.

Gain mastery of measurement and proportions techniques using toothpick.

Create original personal ideas, or combin them with existing ones, to show the student's

imagination and help them express personal matters.

Dedicate the required time to each job without rushing, cultivating self-criticism to improve the

work.

Know the different movements and styles of art and have prepare da list of preferred artists.

Netiquette:

As in any learning environment, certain behavioral codes are expected when you communicate

with both your peers and your instructors. These codes are referred to as netiquette. For further

information, refer to the PDF document, Netiquette Guide for Online Courses, in the left-hand

column on Blackboard.

Assessment of Student Learning:

In order to maintain quality academic offerings and to conform to accreditation requirements,

SLU-Madrid regularly assesses its teaching, services and programs for evidence of student

learning. For this purpose, SLU-Madrid keeps representative examples of student work from all

courses and programs on file, including assignments, papers, exams, portfolios and results from

student surveys, focus groups and reflective exercises. Copies of your work for this course may

be kept on file for institutional research, assessment and accreditation purposes. If you prefer

SLU-Madrid not to retain your work for this purpose, you must communicate this decision in

writing to your professor.

Use of Posted Course Content:

SLU-Madrid prohibits recording and transmission of classroom lectures and discussions by

students unless written permission from the class instructor has been obtained and all students in

the class as well as guest speakers have been informed that audio/video recording may

occur. Recordings, course materials, and lecture notes may not be exchanged or distributed for

commercial purposes, for compensation, or for any other purpose other than study by students

enrolled in the class. Public distribution of such materials may constitute copyright infringement

in violation of Spanish law. Violation of this policy may subject a student to disciplinary action

in accordance with SLU-Madrid policies on Student Rights and Responsibilities and Community

Standards.

Engagement Policy:

Students are required to log into Blackboard from Monday to Thursday to complete all

the assigned work for each module Blackboard.

On Fridays, students may wish to log in to make sure they have completed all the tasks,

and to finish all the module requirements before it closes.

Students should estimate to dedicate from 5 to 9 hours a week during the semester to

complete each module.

There will be a mandatory weekly Zoom meeting, to be determined based on students'

time zones.

Each module has a discussion board in which all students are required to enter a post

every Tuesday and respond to at least two classmates by each Thursday.

These discussion boards will be graded as indicated on their rubrics.

There is also a learning journal to reflect on each module content that should be

completed every week.

Course Requirements and Grading Rationale/System:

This course is asynchronous, meaning that students will be working according to their own

schedule each day within each week. Students are encouraged to keep up with the work daily.

All the content for each week should be completed by the stipulated deadlines.

The final grade is calculated as follows:

Objective results = 85% - imagination and technique. The maximum interest will be given to the

result of the plastic expression as a result of the research and imaginative capacity as well as the

use of academic technical procedures. The works will be evaluated individually and will be

presented on the board on the specified deadline. Homework may be rewritten within the week to

improve your grade.

Final project = 5% - The last exercise represents the technical and conceptual synthesis of the

course.

Attendance, evolution and participation = 10% - Comments and participation in the colloquia are

important to develop a personal criterion and a critical thought about the art world. Personal

progression in relation to the initial technical level will be valued.
