Instructional Methods:
Methods of instruction may include: explanations, demonstrations, hands-on art studio work time, inclass critiques, slide presentations, video/film presentations, lectures, and/or readings (from
textbooks, peer-reviewed articles, books, original source seminal texts). Class time may include
demonstrations, field trips, assignments, introductions, studio time for projects, and critiques.
Painting I is a course that provides students with a solid foundation of painting techniques,
including glazing, underpainting, alla prima, and impasto. A working knowledge of gesso, mediums,
paint, tools, and a variety of supports will be explored. The fabrication of stretchers and canvas
stretching and priming will be demonstrated. Using appropriate terminology, students of Painting I
will learn to discuss their work, as well as that of their peers. A wide variety of subjects will be
explore
This course presents students with the basic techniques and concepts that are common to
various painting media, with the emphasis placed on the acrylic medium. Students in Painting I will
be exposed to both contemporary and historical issues in the field of painting, both subjectively and
technically. This course will examine the interdependence of medium and image.
Student Assignments:
Assignments/Activities may include: individual creative projects, written critical respon ses, group
projects, critiques, exams or quizzes, hands-on studio workdays/times, occasional gallery visits,
various assigned readings from textbooks, peer-reviewed articles, books, original source seminal
texts; mandatory discussions based on various topics related to the major areas of study in Art and
Design; writing papers including critiques, essays, analyses, reviews, research, comparing and
contrasting artistic or design theories and perspectives; service learning projects; presentations;
group and/or individual projects; portfolios. This course requires a minimum of 1000 words in a
combination of writing assignments and/or projects.
Painting 1 is a studio course, meaning it is primarily concerned with the creation of works of
art. Therefore, much of our class time will be spent planning and executing works of art. Projects will
progress from being highly structured to being more personally expressive. Instruction will include
lectures and demonstrations as well as one-to-one interaction with the instructor. Peer interaction is
also important. In addition to studio work, students will have two field trips, do written assignments,
and participate in critiques. Students will also show their work in the student art exhibit. Videos and
slides may be shown. While no quizzes or tests are planned, they may be given if the students seem
to be having problems absorbing information.
A. Studio Work - Studio assignments will consist of the following:
1. Major Assignments (including preparatory work)
2. 1 Day Paintings or Studies
3. Exercises such as the color chart, media experiments, etc.
Studio projects are designed to give the student experience in painting. Generally, they will
focus on a couple of major concepts, techniques, etc., but the knowledge gained is cumulative, so
the overall quality of work should improve as the class progresses.
NOTE: Please prepare your painting supports at home or before/after class. Waiting for your
gesso to dry is not an effective use of class time. It is acceptable to prepare supports in class IF you
have another support prepared to work on while the first is drying.
B. Field Trip
The fine arts department believes that exposure to great works of art is essential if one is to
fully appreciate them. Painting students have much to learn from great art of the past. There is no
form of reproduction that can accurately show a paintings surface, color, and scale. Therefore,
students must look at actual works of art as part of their studio class. You will take a field trip to the
Menil Collection and to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Related to each field trip, you will turn in
a written assignment (typed, 500 words, see below) on a specified topic. Unfortunately, for some
classes, the museums open later than we begin class, and the field trips can not correspond exactly
with class time. Students should make every effort to attend field trips with the class. If this is
-4-
impossible, a student can fulfill the assignment by going to the museum on her/his own, at a more
convenient time. The student is still responsible for handing in written work on time. Attendance
credit on field trip days is given when I am convinced by your written work that you went to the
museum.
Field trips:
Menil Museum– Saturday, February 8, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
MFAH –TBA
C. Written assignment
Field Trip Essays - 500 words each, minimum
There is a minimum writing requirement for this class of 1000 words if a student is to earn a
grade of “C” or better. This will be in the form of two written assignment related to the field trips. This
will be discussed fully in a separate handout. Late written assignments are treated the same as late
visual projects: they drop by 1/2 letter grade (5 points) for each period missed, and receive a zero
after three missed periods.
Essays Due:
 Menil – March 1st



D. Critiques
Critiques are class discussions about the effectiveness of completed paintings, and you are
required to participate. Each student will present his/her own work, and the class will evaluate the
work presented. You are required to be an active participant in the discussion, both when your work
is being discussed and when it is someone else's turn. Speaking about your work as well as the work
of others will help you clarify your artistic ideas and to communicate intelligently. Feedback from me
and from your peers will give you suggestions, ideas, and inspiration. Also, the comments made by
and about other works of art will point you in new directions. Please keep criticism constructive.
Students should not work on their paintings during the critique.
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT FOR CRITIQUES!!!
E. Student Exhibition
All students are expected to prepare one of their paintings for exhibition and to participate in
the student show. We will spend some class time on this, but ultimately, each student is responsible
for properly preparing the piece for hanging, completing the required paperwork, delivering work to
the show and collecting the work after the show closes.
Student Assessments:
Methods of Assessment/Evaluation may include: portfolios, creative projects, tests and quizzes
which may include: definitions, matching, multiple choice, true/false, short answer, brief essay,
essay, lists; writing assignments, in-class discussions and/or critiques; written papers including
critiques, essays, analyses, reviews, research, comparing and contrasting artistic or design theories
and perspectives; service learning projects; presentations; group and/or individual projects; other
methods as may be determined by individual instructors.
Graded work will include paintings and studies, written work, and participation
Daily Grade/Participation
Students will receive a daily work/participation grade every class. This grade will take into
account class participation, studio habits, preparedness, attendance, punctuality (being in class,
being on time, and staying until the end), clean-up, and effective use of time. At the end of the
semester, the Daily Grades will be averaged (using a 5 point scale) to arrive at one grade that is
worth 1 1/2 times the weight of a major project grade (150 points).
The daily work grade will be determined as follows:
-5-




5 (100%) - No problems with punctuality, participation, or supplies.
4 (80%) - 1 minor punctuality, participation or supplies problem.
3 (60%) -more substantial participation, punctuality or supplies problem.
2 (40%) - unprepared OR 2 punctuality/participation problems OR failure to
completely clean up after yourself (neglecting clean-up can also get you a D or F
depending on the "mess level") OR disruption (cell phone ringing, etc.)
 1 (20%) - 2 or 3 preparedness/punctuality/participation/clean-up/disruption problems.
 0 - absent or any other combinations.
On critique days, your daily grade includes participation in the critique (presentation of
completed work and discussion of other student’s work as well as the above). To calculate
your daily grade: your points/# of class days = your 5 point average. Your 5 point average X
20 = your % grade. Your % grade X 1.5 = your numerical grade out of 150.
Instructional Materials
There is no book required for this course. There is an extensive list of supplies and materials
required which can be found on the last page of this document. We suggest that you separate
the page and take it with you when you shop for the materials.
HCC Policy Statement: Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)
Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.)
who needs to arrange reasonable accommodations must contact the Disability Services Office at the
respective college at the beginning of each semester. Faculty is authorized to provide only
the accommodations requested by the Disability Support Services Office.
If you have any questions, please contact the Disability Counselor at your college or the District
Disability Office at 713-718-5165.

HCC Policy Statement: Academic Honesty
You are expected to be familiar with the College's Policy on Academic Honesty, found in the catalog
and student handbook. Students are responsible for conducting themselves with honor and integrity
in fulfilling course requirements. Penalties and/or disciplinary proceedings may be initiated by
College System officials against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty.
“Scholastic dishonesty” includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion.
Cheating on a test includes:
 Copying from another student’s test paper;
 Using materials during a test that are not authorized by the person giving the test;
 Collaborating with another student during a test without authority;
 Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or part the
contents of a test that has not bee administered;
 Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered.
-6-
Plagiarism means the appropriation of another’s work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that
work in one’s own written work offered for credit. This also applies to visual materials in studio
projects.
Collusion means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work
offered for credit.
Violations: Possible punishments for academic dishonesty may include a grade of “0” or “F” on the
particular assignment, failure in the course, and/or recommendation for probation or dismissal from
the College System. A recommendation for suspension or expulsion will be referred to the College
Dean of Student Development for disciplinary disposition.
Students who wish to appeal a grade penalty should notify the instructional supervisor within 30
working days of the incident. A standing committee appointed by the College Dean of Instruction
(Academic or Workforce) will convene to sustain, reduce, or reverse the grade penalty. The
committee will be composed of two students, two faculty members, and one instructional
administrator. A majority vote will decide the grade appeal and is final.
Official HCC Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Students are responsible for material covered
during their absences, and it is the student’s responsibility to consult with instructors for makeup
assignments. Class attendance is checked daily by instructors.
Although it is the responsibility of the student to drop a course for non-attendance, the
instructor has the authority to drop a student for excessive absences.
A student may be dropped from a course for absenteeism after the student has accumulated
absences in excess of 12.5 percent of the hours of instruction (including lecture and laboratory
time).
For example:
For a three credit-hour lecture class meeting three hours per week (48 hours of instruction), a
student may be dropped after six hours of absences.
Administrative drops are at the discretion of the instructor. If you are doing poorly in the
class, but you have not contacted your professor to ask for help, and you have not withdrawn by
the official withdrawal date, it will result in you receiving a grade of “F” in the course
NOTE: LAST DAY FOR STUDENT/ADMINISTRATIVE DROP THIS SEMESTER:
Monday, April 1, 4:30 pm
Due to the nature of a studio course, regular and punctual attendance is crucial to your success. In
accordance with school policy, I may drop a student after 12 hours of missed class (four absences,
or equivalent time missed). Should this happen, it is your responsibility to officially withdrawal from
the course. Failure to do so may result in a grade of "F." If you want to drop for any reason, you need
to go through the motions for an official withdraw!!!! This is HCCS policy. Students who miss all or
part of a class are responsible for making up work on their own and for being prepared for the next
class. In case of serious emergency, contact me. While I cannot compromise the integrity of the
class, I will try to work with you.
Please DO NOT call the school to report an ordinary absence. Call a fellow student to find out
what you have missed and speak to me when you return to school. For special circumstances (such
as absence on a critique day or circumstances causing you to miss several classes in a row) it is
appropriate to call.

Course Withdrawals-First Time Freshmen Students-Fall 2007 and Later:
Effective 2007, section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code applies to first-time in college freshman
students who enroll in a Texas public institution of higher education in the fall semester of 2007 or
thereafter. High school students currently enrolled in HCC Dual Credit and Early College are waived
from this requirement until they graduate from high school.
Based on this law, HCC or any other Texas Public institution of higher education may not
permit students to drop after the official day of record more than six college level credit
courses for unacceptable reasons during their entire undergraduate career.
Course Withdrawals:
Be sure you understand HCC policies about dropping a course. It is the student’s responsibility to
withdraw officially from a course and prevent an “F” from appearing on the transcript. If you feel that
you cannot complete this course, you will need to withdraw from the course prior to the final date of
withdrawal. Before, you withdraw from your course; please take the time to meet with the instructor
to discuss why you feel it is necessary to do so. The instructor may be able to provide you with
suggestions that would enable you to complete the course. Your success is very important
If you plan on withdrawing from your class, you MUST contact a HCC counselor or your professor
prior to withdrawing (dropping) the class for approval and this must be done PRIOR to the withdrawal
deadline to receive a “W” on your transcript. **Final withdrawal deadlines vary each semester and/or
depending on class length, please visit the online registration calendars, HCC schedule of classes
and catalog, any HCC Registration Office, or any HCC counselor to determine class withdrawal
deadlines. Remember to allow a 24-hour response time when communicating via email and/or
telephone with a professor and/or counselor. Do not submit a request to discuss withdrawal
options less than a day before the deadline. If you do not withdraw before the deadline, you will
receive the grade that you are making in the class as your final grade
Early Alert Program:
To help students avoid having to drop/withdraw from any class, HCC has instituted an Early Alert
process by which your professor may “alert” you and HCC counselors that you might fail a class
because of excessive absences and/or poor academic performance. It is your responsibility to visit
with your professor or a counselor to learn about what, if any, HCC interventions might be available
to assist you – online tutoring, child care, financial aid, job placement, etc. – to stay in class and
improve your academic performance.
Repeat Course Fee:
The State of Texas encourages students to complete college without having to repeat failed classes.
To increase student success, students who repeat the same course more than twice, are required to
pay extra tuition. The purpose of this extra tuition fee is to encourage students to pass their courses
and to graduate. Effective fall 2006, HCC will charge a higher tuition rate to students registering the
third or subsequent time for a course. If you are considering course withdrawal because you are not
earning passing grades, confer with your instructor/counselor as early as possible about your study
habits, reading and writing homework, test taking skills, attendance, course participation, and
opportunities for tutoring or other assistance that might be available.
Individual Instructor’s Requirements Statement
As your Instructor, it is my responsibility to:
 Provide the grading scale and detailed grading formula explaining how student grades are to be
derived
 Facilitate an effective learning environment through class studio activities, discussions, and
critiques
 Provide a clear description of any special projects or assignments
 Inform students of policies such as attendance, withdrawal, tardiness and make up work
-8-


Provide the course outline and class calendar which will include a description of any special
projects or assignments
Arrange to meet with individual students before and after class as required
To be successful in this class, it is the student’s responsibility to:
 Attend class, be on time, and be prepared with the proper materials for each session.
 Use class studio time wisely by focusing on assigned projects
 Keep copies of all paperwork, including the syllabus, articles, and handouts.
 Respect the space and materials of other class members.
 Clean up thoroughly after each studio session
 Be prepared for critique sessions: have complete assignments ready for display and be prepared to
participate in the verbal critique process
Tardiness: I will take roll ten minutes after the scheduled start of class. Students who arrive after roll
is taken will be considered late. If you must arrive late, please join the class without disrupting it.
Also, please see me at the end of class to make sure I have marked you late instead of absent. This
is your responsibility - I will not change your attendance record after the class period is over. Leaving
early is treated the same as leaving late.
Disruptions: Adult behavior is expected, and disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. While I expect
and encourage you to participate in discussions, ask questions, and express opinions, you should do
so in an appropriate manner and at an appropriate time. Students who interfere with my ability to
teach the class or with fellow students' ability to learn will be removed from class and/or will have
their participation/daily work grade lowered. Depending on the severity and/or frequency of such
disruptions, such students may be administratively withdrawn from the course without refund.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING CELL PHONES TO CLASS or TURN THEM OFF as they are disruptive! I
will make exceptions to people "on call" for work or for special home circumstances, but please tell
me ahead of time.
Studio Clean-up Policy: At the end of each class, you are required to completely clean up after
yourself. This includes replacing any school equipment or supplies, cleaning your workspace and
table, throwing out your trash, storing your work and materials in the proper place, etc. You are
collectively responsible for maintaining the sink area. Please bring your own soap and paper towels.
Failure to clean up will affect your daily grade.
Dress Code: Since we are working with art supplies, the possibility always exists that you will get
dirty. Bring a smock/apron or dress accordingly. It is wise to tie back long hair as well. If you remove
your jewelry, please put it in your pocket, purse, or backpack so you don’t forget it. I have no control
over the temperature in the room (usually too cold or too hot). Please dress in layers if you want to
be comfortable.
Guests/Children: Because of the less-structured climate of a studio class, people are often tempted
to bring "friends" with them to class. Please refrain from doing this, as it is a distraction to you and to
others. If you want to show others what you are doing, this can be done before and after class.
According to the HCCS Faculty Handbook: "The College System does not allow children into the
collegiate educational process. The campus is a workplace, and while conviviality is encouraged, the
purpose of our presence here is the business of educating students; the purpose of students here is
to be educated. The presence of children is not appropriate to this situation." Occasionally, if there is
room, we allow art students from other classes to work quietly in the studio during class.
Disclaimer: This is a college course for adults. As such, students need to understand that there
may be information that they find disagreeable. Nudity and controversial subjects are not
uncommon in works of art. Also, religion has inspired countless art works, and will be discussed to
put the work in context. This is not meant to challenge or change your personal beliefs.

additional brushes, extra colors, stretchers and canvas for pieces in the latter part of the semester,
etc) you may get better deals at Utrecht (www.utrechtart.com) or Pearl (www.pearlpaint.com). Please
note that waiting for supplies to be delivered in the mail is NOT an excuse for not having what you
need, when you need it. This option is really for students who plan way ahead, not procrastinators.

TBASupplies to prepare a painting for exhibition - probably two screw eyes and some picture framing
wire. Painting supports (as per class discussion) - canvas board, stretched canvas, gessoed
masonite or plywood, illustration board, etc. Each painting will require a support. Some will be
specific supports in specific sizes, others you will choose. You must always bring a spare support to
class. I suggest keeping a canvas panel in the trunk of your car for the duration of the semester.
Also, your support should be ready to work on. Prepare them at home, before/after class or have
another support to work on while your gesso dries.
Painting Supports – requirements for the semester’s projects:
Note: an additional will be provided with specifics on second class meeting.
