150. Drawing I
James Mullen M 9:30 - 11:55, W 9:30 - 11:55
An introduction to drawing, with an emphasis on the development of perceptual, organizational, and critical abilities. Studio projects entail objective observation and analysis of still-life, landscape, and figurative subjects; exploration of the abstract formal organization of graphic expression; and the development of a critical vocabulary of visual principles. Lectures and group critiques augment studio projects in various drawing media.

Meghan Brady M 1:30 - 3:55, W 1:30 - 3:55
An introduction to drawing, with an emphasis on the development of perceptual, organizational, and critical abilities. Studio projects entail objective observation and analysis of still-life, landscape, and figurative subjects; exploration of the abstract formal organization of graphic expression; and the development of a critical vocabulary of visual principles.

160. Painting I
Meghan Brady M 9:30 - 11:55, W 9:30 - 11:55
An introduction to painting, with an emphasis on the development of perceptual, organizational, and critical abilities. Studio projects entail objective observation and analysis of still-life, landscape, and figurative subjects; exploration of the painting medium and chromatic structure in representation; and the development of a critical vocabulary of painting concepts. Lectures and group critiques augment studio projects in painting media.
175. Performance Art
Gretchen Berg M 11:30 - 1:25, W 11:30 - 1:25
Performance art is live art performed by artists. It includes, but is not limited by, elements of both theater and dance. Students study the history and theory of performance art through readings and the creation of original work. Students consider the social context of different movements in performance art, and the creation of performance art in contemporary culture. The class creates and performs pieces in both traditional and “found” spaces.
180. Photography I
Michael Kolster T 9:00 - 11:25, TH 9:00 - 11:25
Photographic visualization and composition as consequences of fundamental techniques of black-and-white still photography. Class discussions and demonstrations, examination of masterworks, and field and laboratory work in 35mm format. Students must provide their own 35mm non-automatic camera.
233. Architecture and Sustainability
None None Wiebke Theodore T 9:00 - 11:25, TH 9:00 - 11:25
Explores the critical components, principles, and tools of good sustainable design. Using design exercises, readings, class discussion, field visits, and case studies, students investigate why and how buildings can be designed in ways that are environmentally responsive and responsible. Issues include the relationship between sustainability and creative architectural form, as well as the importance of place and community in design.
250. Drawing II
Mark Wethli T 1:30 - 3:55, TH 1:30 - 3:55
A continuation of the principles introduced in Visual Arts 150, with particular emphasis on figurative drawing. Studio projects develop perceptual, creative, and critical abilities through problems involving objective observation, gestural expression and structural principles of the human form, studies from historical and contemporary examples, and exploration of the abstract formal elements of drawing. Lectures and group critiques augment studio projects in various drawing media.
260. Painting II
Mark Wethli T 9:00 - 11:25, TH 9:00 - 11:25
A continuation of the principles introduced in Visual Arts 160, with studio problems based on direct experience.
270. Printmaking II
Anna Hepler M 9:30 - 11:55, W 9:30 - 11:55
A continuation of the principles introduced in Visual Arts 170, with particular emphasis on independent projects.
275. Architectural Design II
None None Wiebke Theodore T 1:30 - 3:55, TH 1:30 - 3:55
A continuation of principles introduced in Visual Arts 190, with an emphasis on the idea of the creation and analysis of sacred space. Includes readings and analysis of varieties of sacred space, both natural and constructed, and requires architectural design projects and presentations.
280. Photography II - Large Format
Michael Kolster T 1:30 - 3:55, TH 1:30 - 3:55
Review and expansion of concepts and techniques fundamental to black-and-white photography, with exploration of the image-making potentials of different formats such as 35mm and view camera. Seminar discussions and field and laboratory work. Students must provide their own nonautomatic 35mm camera.
