Studio Art
SA 111 Drawing: Composition and Perception
3 credits (CS)
Drawing: Composition and Perception is an intensive studio course
designed for students to investigate and develop a proficiency
in drawing, composition and design practices. This course
investigates observational drawing, with an emphasis on
rendering surfaces, drawing the figure, spatial systems and
color. Through the repeated physical activity of drawing,
students build and refine their critical thinking and analytical
powers through observation, visualization and critical
dialogue. Students build their visual and cultural literacy
through ongoing discussion of examples of art historical and
contemporary works, including art and design from a diverse
range of cultures. Students are encouraged and guided to
develop, hone and challenge their own creative process.
Students write about their creative process and develop artist
statements. Students have the opportunity to explore mixed
media, digital technology, as well as non-traditional materials,
techniques and contexts to explore drawing and design.
(Offered fall and spring terms)
SA 112 Drawing II
3 credits (CS)
Drawing II introduces more complex conceptual and
experimental approaches to drawing. Students use a wide
range of media, with emphasis on color and an introduction

SA 131 Design and Color Theory
3 credits (CS)
SA131 introduces the elements and principles of design, the
language of visual communication. Students learn to use these
more consciously in their work, as well as discern and discuss
them in other art and in all that surrounds us. There is
emphasis on color theory and its application in different
media and disciplines. The elements and principles of design
are taught through the use of color in a variety of design
situations. Through a variety of projects, in class exercises
and homework assignments, students engage in the rigorous
creative process: brainstorming, sketching, refining and
producing. Students are introduced to a variety of media and
techniques, with an emphasis on good craftsmanship and
professional presentation. Above all, students become more
conscious of the conceptual, expressive and perceptual
qualities of their aesthetic decisions, so they can more
effectively communicate visually. (Offered fall and spring
terms)
SA 132 Structuring Human Space
3 credits (CS)
This course undertakes a study of three-dimensional form to
develop students’ ability to visualize, design and construct in
three dimensions. Students work with space, objects,
materials and scale through projects that address the body as
a site and source for design. Students also undertake projects
that investigate the relationship of the body to the built
environment. Through this work they encounter the idea that
art and design and the context or environment in which they
function are inextricably linked. Students acquire a basic skill
set of fabrication techniques, including an introduction to the
wood shop. Assignments utilize time-honored techniques and
materials as well as investigate new materials. This course
includes proposal writing and professional presentations, and
culminates in a public event(s) in which students present their
proposals for ideas or projects that could have a place and
function in society. These proposals will demonstrate the
students’ comprehension of how the structure relates to their
individual areas of study. (Offered fall and spring terms)
