FAMB 0038 01 Realist Painting 0.50 Credit Christopher Chippendale S 9:00 am ‐ 12:15 pm B307 FAMB 0038 02 Realist Painting 0.50 Credit Christopher Chippendale S 1:00 pm ‐ 4:15 pm B307 FAMB 0038 03 Realist Painting 1.00 Credit Christopher Chippendale S 9:00 am ‐ 4:15 pm B307 This multi‐level course in realist painting requires no significant prior experience in this particular discipline, and invariably attracts new and returning students with a range of backgrounds and skill levels. We will focus on the means and language of direct painting techniques in the service of illusionism, as well as a broad and supple set of painting skills fundamental to observational painting (firm color mixing, synthetic ways of seeing and making, the material use of paint, and reading tone through color). Ancillary to our studio focus, we will examine modes and models of realist painting, past and present, from the standpoint of their painting language. There will be in‐class observational painting from the model and the model in a larger environment (model sessions typically last three to four sessions). FAMB 0043 01 Illustration: An Introduction 0.50 Credit Joseph Landry M 6:30 pm ‐ 9:45 pm A207 This non-computer based course begins your exploration of illustration by working on essential drawing skills, introducing you to many of the techniques an illustrator uses, and covering theoretical topics relevant to illustration. Through weekly homework assignments and in-class critiques, the course emphasizes idea and visual metaphor development and the search for a personal style. Slide lectures on idea generation, design and color theory and the work of illustrators— and also painters and sculptors of interest to illustrators—are a regular part of the course. Class projects include drawing and color explorations as well as the illustration of editorials, short stories, book jackets, posters and sequential art. You also may bring your own projects to the course, which is designed to accommodate beginners seeking a foundation and those interested in strengthening their skills. FAMB 0045 01 Introduction to Adobe Photoshop 0.50 Credit Alexa Thayer T 6:30 pm ‐ 9:45 pm B211A This course will begin with basic Adobe Photoshop techniques such as selecting objects, copying and pasting, color correction, photo retouching, montage, and collage. As your skills develop you will incorporate more advanced features into your work using layers, masks, paths, colorizing, and duotones. We also will cover the basics of scanning reflective art, negatives, slides, and video capture. By working with Photoshop images, you will gain an understanding of resolution and output options. Prerequisite: A knowledge of the Macintosh computer. FAMB 0047 01 Lithography 0.50 Credit Carolyn Muskat M 6:30 pm ‐ 9:45 pm A104/106 Printmaking, as a process, allows an artist the opportunity to explore an image in depth through multiple reworkings. The artist can work and then rework an image almost indefinitely, all while keeping the history of past impressions. This class will focus on the concept of the progressive proof, allowing you to develop an image or concept over the semester 12 | P age
and to really examine all the variations possible. We will focus on lithography, in editions and as singular monoprints. All levels are welcome. FAMB 0044 01 Around the Ring: Beginning Jewelry 0.50 Credit Linda Priest T 6:30 pm ‐ 9:45 pm A111 Rings are one of the most popular and meaningful forms of jewelry; highly visible, they can be symbols of commitment and belonging, indicators of power and status, expression of personal taste. These are just some of the reasons rings have been worn by many cultures across all periods. In this class we will research the history and explore contemporary adaptations of the ring, while learning basic skills that allow you to make rings. Students will conduct independent investigation, research and model making to explore function and scale of the ring and its relationship to the body. Through presentations, discussions and hands‐on demonstrations students will acquire a solid set of tools to develop both concept as well as becoming competent with basic jewelry and metal working skills, including piercing, forming, soldering, polishing, mold making and stone setting. Working in a variety of materials, precious and non‐precious you will create a collection of rings utilizing techniques, ranging from traditional to alternative. “If you like it, you should put a ring on it” Beyonce. FAMB 0072 01 Many Dimensions of Jewelry 0.50 Credit Linda Priest W 6:30 pm ‐ 9:45 pm A111 Metal is a wonderful, versatile material—you can dome it, solder it into forms, set different materials into it, cast it and sometimes even anodize it to achieve bright colors. This course presents interesting ways to create jewelry and small objects in nonferrous metal. Projects include hammering metal to make a domed bracelet, cutting and bending a single piece of metal to fabricate a hollow constructed ring and adding a little sparkle to a piece by setting a faceted stone in a bezel setting. You will explore simple fusing and simple hinge making as well as color‐reactive metals and experiment with different material to emboss into metal and even weave a chain. Exercises will be given to practice techniques and you will be encouraged to creatively incorporate new information into projects. FAMB 0061 01 Intermediate to Advanced Painting 0.50 Credit Laura Fischman M 6:30 pm ‐ 9:45 pm B307 This course is for students who are interested in furthering their painting skills, interests, and projects. Structured as a workshop, you will discuss your previous work and future goals with the instructor and receive ongoing, personalized, specific feedback. Instruction will be offered in subjects including painting techniques, archival issues, color complexities, composition, and the meaning of your work. You will explore work by other painters and learn to think about your work in relation to these self‐selected "mentors." Group critiques will be conducted occasionally during the semester to increase dialog, but the main focus of this course is your personal journey in painting. Please note: Students are expected to have achieved some mastery of basic painting skills. FAMB 0073 A Portrait Painting and Drawing 0.50 Credit Patrick Carter T 6:30 pm ‐ 9:45 pm B307 13 | P age
