Catalog Description of the Course
Study of the relationship of form: the elements and the principle of art and organization as an understanding of two-dimensional art design.
Introduction
Welcome to Art 110 � Design 1. This is a participatory, hands-on studio art class. The course will focus on the investigation of the visual elements and principles of design. Class activities will be a combination of studio projects, demonstrations, and critiques focusing on what you learn, and discussing works of art in two-dimensional design.
It is my responsibility to challenge you. It is also your responsibility to challenge yourself. I expect you to take ownership of your creative ideas. Communication is important. If at any time you have questions about the course or the steps involved in any artistic process, please see me in class, during office hours, or contact me by email or phone.

Assignments - 180 points
There are 9 studio assignments. Each studio assignment is worth 20 points. I will distribute project instructions that will detail your task and assignment.
Attendance - 20 points
Students are expected to attend every class session. You will be awarded 20 points for attendance if you have one unexcused absence or less. You will be awarded 10 points for attendance if you have two or three unexcused absences. If you have more than three unexcused absences, no points will be awarded to your final course grade.
Sketchbook - 20 points
You are required to keep a sketchbook. The book should have 80 to 100 blank pages. I expect you to do thumbnail sketches of your work in the proper calendar sequence. The design of the cover and including your sketches in the book will be scored at the end of the quarter.
Class Participation - 20 points
In addition, you can be awarded a maximum of 20 points for class participation. To ensure that you don�t miss demonstrations and critiques, it is important that you arrive to class on time.
Grading Scale
Counting the 180 points for the 9 assignments, 20 points for attendance, 20 points for the sketch- book, and 20 points for class participation, there are a total of 240 points in the course.
