Techniques in Western Papermaking and Papercasting
I. CATALOG AND OUTLINE
1. CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
An introduction to the Western tradition of papermaking and papercasting. Students will learn how to collect and
process native and imported fibers suitable for papermaking. Students will learn how to process appropriate
fibers including recyclable papers suitable for hand papermaking and casting as 3-D art. They will explore fiber
properties, additives, and formation techniques appropriate to produce fine quality art paper and sculpture.
Emphasis will be placed upon the use of paper pulp as a fine art medium.
NOTE: Repeatable to a maximum of 3 enrollments/3 units.

III. OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENTS
1. COURSE OUTCOMES/OBJECTIVES:
List the primary instructional objectives of the class. Formulate some of them in terms of specific measurable student
accomplishments, e.g., specific knowledge and/or skills to be attained as a result of completing this course. For degreeapplicable courses, include objectives in the area of "critical thinking." Upon successful completion of this course, the
students will be able to:
"
"
"
"
perform proper selection and processing of fibrous materials to generate pulp.
understand bonding properties of fibers to produce sheets and or sculptural forms in the media.
create 2 & 3 dimensional art forms using pulp.
demonstrate skills in forming sheets and casting pulp in unique molds.
2. COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for noncredit courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate
and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
"
"
students will apply principles of papermaking to evaluate untried fibers for papermaking.
students will analyze and assess the appropriateness and proper strategies for adding unproven elements (cloth,
feathers, clay, vegetable materials) to paper to alter its strength and flexibility, aesthetic or other working properties.
students will formulate uses and applications of their paper for practical & aesthetic purposes.
"
3. ASSESSMENT
Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category 1 is not checked, the
department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade.
A. This course requires a minimum of two substantial (500 words each) written assignments which demonstrate standard
English usage (grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary) and proper paragraph and essay development. In grading these
assignments, instructors shall use, whenever possible, the English Department’s rubric for grading the ENGL 150 exit
essay. Substantial writing assignments, including:
__ essay exam(s)
__ term or other paper(s)
__ written homework
__
reading report(s)
__ other (specify) ________________________________
___ laboratory report(s)
If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate because:
__ The course is primarily computational in nature.
_X The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.

To request an exception, provide the following information:

Course Title
NATURE OF THE EXCEPTION REQUESTED AND RATIONALE:
4.
This course should be repeatable (up to 3 enrollments) because it is primarily a skill development
course and lecture content is different for which repetition in the controlled environment of the classroom
enhances the abilities of the student to utilize these skills independently of class. It conforms to expectations
and outcomes of most of the other art courses which are also repeatable.
4.
There is no textbook. The reading material for this course is substantially included in a syllabus
that is updated each semester which itself includes a recommended bibliography for continuing research
beyond the scope of this short course.
