Creative Arts (continued) 510-204-LA Drawing (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Digital Imaging/Studio Arts profile only) The first step in learning to draw is learning to see and translate. Working primarily from observation students will learn a variety of visual skills and approaches to drawing. There will be experimentation with such things as color, perspective systems, and the description of light. The concepts of illusion, abstraction, and realism will be applied and reinforced. Finally, students will learn about critical language used to discuss the formal aspects of artwork in relation to meaning. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 510-101 or with written permission from instructor 510-205-LA Painting (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Digital Imaging/Studio Arts profile only) During this course students will be exposed to painting as a means of exploring and understanding the external and internal worlds. They will learn how colour, composition and imagery can be made expressive of ideas and feelings. Through critical process, they will develop a language to discuss formal aspects of painting in relation to meaning. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 510-101 or with written permission from instructor 510-301-LA Sculpture (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Digital Imaging/Studio Arts profile only) Sculpture is a discipline where space, volume and content can be approached in a variety of ways. Building on the experiences of the second semester courses, students will develop a practical understanding of sculpture as a contemporary practice in art. Students will learn about concepts and techniques in sculpture which they will be able to apply to the 3D Computer and Advanced Studio courses in their fourth semester. They will also further develop critical language by analyzing and critiquing their own process and production in written form. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 510-101 or with written permission from instructor 510-312-LA 3D Computer Imaging (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Digital Imaging/Studio Arts profile only) Alias/Wavefront Maya is a recognized 3D modeling animation tool in the film industry. This course will be an introduction to the ways in which Maya can be used to create objects and scenes. Students will complete a series of class activities that will be geared towards making the student familiar with this digital sculptural environment. Students will learn to create objects in nurbs and polygons, they will also be introduced to animating. They will develop a personal project, integrating notions acquired in the Digital Imaging and Studio Arts profile. Students will be graded on their mastery of technical skills and their creativity at finding solutions to 2D and3D design projects. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: {510-202 and 510-204} or with written permission from instructor 510-401-LA Advanced Workshop: Studio Arts (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Digital Imaging/Studio Arts profile only) In this advanced course, students will be asked to produce a personal body of work in response to thematic parameters established by the instructor. The themes introduced will attempt to address issues pertinent to contemporary art as a fluctuating entity in the post modern era. Materials and techniques will be dictated by the students’ interpretation of the theme, and should not be limited to those previously learned. The student will be required to do readings to aid in situating their interpretations in relation to current art discourse. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: {510-204 and 510-205 and 510-301} or with written permission from instructor (any prerequisite failed may be taken concurrently with 510- 401)
Creative Arts (continued) 510-402-LA Advanced Digital Workshop (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Digital Imaging/Studio Arts profile only) In this advanced course students are given the opportunity to develop a more personal body of work with digital tools. Students will work by proposal, for which they must do research into a contemporary digital art practice. Work will be reviewed in class critiques and presentations. Both written and verbal analysis will be a requirement. Depending on the dictates of their proposals, students will be encouraged to look beyond the platforms they have already learned for the completion of their work. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 510-202 or with written permission from instructor (any with 510 prerequisite failed may be taken concurrently 510-402) 510-403-LA Integrated Project/Portfolio (Concentration course for students in Creative Arts - Digital Imaging/Studio Arts profile only) In this course, students integrate the skills and knowledge acquired in the program. They prepare a portfolio for application to university programs, technical schools, or related employment. The portfolio will consist of slide documentation and examples of work completed in previous courses, a statement of intent, a letter of application, properly formatted lists of slides, content etc. Students will propose and execute an artwork of their own design, which will be worked on over an extended period of time (8 weeks). The written proposal for the extended studio project must include a rationale on how the artwork includes themes, theories, and techniques that the student has identified as being present in their work. 3 hours/week Units: 1.66 Prerequisite: all 510s from previous semesters or with written permission from instructor (any prerequisite failed may be taken concurrently with 510-403) 510-901-LA Drawing (Option course for students in Creative Arts - Film/Video/Communications and Photo/Design only) Learning how to draw requires learning to see and translate. This is considered a basic skill in any field of visual art. Students will learn how various qualities of line can be used to describe objects, figures, environments, movement and time. They will be introduced to perspective systems and experiment with light, colour and distortion. This course is useful to students interested in still or moving images. Class: 3 hours/week Units: 1.66 Prerequisite: 510-101 or with written permission from instructor 510-902-LA Computer Graphics (Option course for students in Creative Arts - Film/Video/Communications and Photo/Design profiles only) This option course is designed to give students an introduction to various ways to create digital images that can be used for computer graphic. Students will learn to create, manage and manipulate digital graphics files, using Photoshop as their primary tool. Students will be graded on their mastering of technical skills, creativity in solving problems and how well they link the formal aspects of art-making with content and meaning. 3 hours/week Units: 1.66 510-904-LA Experimental Techniques in Drawing (Option course for students in Creative Arts - Film/Video/Communications and Photo/Design profiles only) In this course students will be exposed to experimental techniques in drawing which contribute to their visual understanding. Using collage, colour, and mixed media, students will consider the problems and challenges of composition, movement, change and related issues. This drawing course allows for direct hands on experimentation with the concerns common to all 2-dimensional visual works. 3 hours/week Units: 1.66 Prerequisite: 510-101 or with written permission from instructor 510-905-LA 2D Computer Animation Workshop (Option course for students in Creative Arts - Film/Video/Communications and Photo/Design profiles only) Students will be introduced to some basic techniques of computer assisted animation using desktop-based animation software; in particular, Macromedia’s Flash.
