COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is a study of the interaction of color, studio experiment and the manipulation of color to achieve various effects through problem solving and individual expression.
PREREQUISITE: ARTS 101 DRAWING AND ARTS 103 TWO DIMENSIONAL DESIGN
TEXT: Color Workbook (2nd Edition) by Becky Koenig (Paperback) Prentice Hall - Aug 18, 2006
LEARNING OUTCOMES: KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITY

3. Know the use and understanding of color schemes.
4. Execute creative layouts with all assignments.
5. Communicate orally and in writing using terminology unique to color.
6. Sharpen his or her skills to execute designs using the problem solving process..
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
1. Students should have proper supplies and assignments to participate in class.
2. Students are expected to arrive for class on time
3. Students are expected to participate in every class (studio work, critiques, practice activities, trips, etc.)
4. Students are required to participate in every project during the full studio time and outside of the studio.
EVALUATION
1. Project should be developed with the awareness of the professor and a portion of it may be executed during the class periods.
2. Each student is expected to complete all assignments on time. If an assignment is turned in after the due date and/or time of a class period, the project will not be accepted. If it is necessary to be absent on that day, the student should submit the assignment before the due date.
3. A grade on an assignment will represent an evaluation to the total 3 following categories:
a) Creativity/Craftsmanship=25% This area evaluates whether or not: a) execution of assignments meets the requirements,
b) follows directions c) the problem solving (the design process) involves the manipulation of the design elements and principles of organization.
c) Presentation =25% This category evaluates the precision, neatness, cleanliness and professional appearance of each project.
d) In Class Participation=50% This category evaluates:
i) the effective use of class time for the development and completion of work according to project,
ii) motivation to seek more than is required for a problem solution
4. Each student will be evaluated with a grade of "A" through "F" for "in class" participation. These grades will be added up for the semester's final grade in participation
5. The final grade for the semester will be evaluated upon:
a) the grade on the final exam = 20%,
b) grades on the classroom assignments = 20%,
c) grades on the classroom assignments associated with trips or lectures = 20%,
d) classroom participation = 20%,
e) quiz scores = 20%.
6. The field trips or lectures are mandatory. They will be graded as assignments. If a student does not attend a particular trip or lecture, the grade for that assignment is zero.
Grading System
100 to 97 =A+
96 to 93 = A
92 to 90 = A-
89 to 87 = B+
86 to 83 = B
82 to 80 = B-
79 to 77 = C+
76 to 73 = C
72 to 70 = C-
69 to 67 = D+
66 to 63 = D
62 to 60 = D-
ALL PROJECTS SHOULD BE SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED ENGAGING IN THOROUGH RESEARCH. ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE CORRECTED UNTIL THE PROJECT IS ACCURATE AND ACCEPTABLE. ALL ASSIGNMENTS NOT RECEIVED WILL EQUAL ZERO.
