STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Demonstrate creative problem-solving skills.
2. Critically evaluate one’s own artwork and the work of others.
3. Demonstrate knowledge of the basic printmaking techniques.
4. Gain a working knowledge of historical and contemporary printmaking.
5. Incorporate printmaking skills into one’s overall growth as an artist.

1. Help set up lab for class and clean up afterwards.
2. Participate in class critiques.
3. Complete all exercises and composition assignments both inside and outside class.
4. Attend all scheduled classes.
5. Complete all tests.
METHODS OF EVALUATION:
Each project will be graded and returned with an evaluation sheet which points out strengths and weaknesses of the artwork. Artwork will be critiqued individually and the class will participate in group critiques to involve others in the process. Each student will be evaluated in terms of his or her own work. Quality, effort expended and progress made are all important. The number of prints each student produces will be determined by the complexity of those prints. Printmaking II students are required to try more advanced techniques such as multiple plate prints in either intaglio or relief.
The maximum points for each assignment are:
Final Portfolio: 800 pts.
Participation in extracurricular endeavors: 200 pts.
The extracurricular endeavor grade will be based on the student completing one of the
following tasks (for which the student must submit documentation of participation):
a. attendance at an Artist Talk or an exhibition of prints
b. entry of completed class work in a juried exhibition, competition or display
c. completion of a written project assigned by the instructor
Final grades will be computed using a 1000 pt. scale as follows:
A = 1000-900
B = 899-800
C = 799-700
D = 699-600
F = 599-0

Note: Work that is missed due to unexcused absence or tardy is the student’s
responsibility and will result in a lower course grade. All late work will receive an
automatic deduction of one letter grade. Course work will not be accepted more
than seven (7) calendar days after the original due date.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
See the current Collin Registration Guide for the last day to withdraw.
Attendance is mandatory because: a. Observing the demonstrations is crucial to understanding the assignments.
b. Students who produce their art projects during scheduled classes have
the opportunity for individual help from the professor. c. Working during scheduled classes provides the discipline needed to complete
the assignments on time. d. Class attendance is directly correlated with successful achievement in
college.
NOTE: More than 3 unexcused absences may result in a lower course grade. More than 6 unexcused absences will result in a performance grade of “F”. Please contact the instructor within 24 hours of an unexcused absence to determine whether the absence is excusable and if any missed assignment can be made up. Please contact the instructor in advance if you know you will be absent at any time during the semester.
Withdrawal procedure: If you are having trouble with this class or believe that you must drop, please contact me. If you are unable to complete this course, it is your responsibility to initiate the drop procedures. You must go to the Registrar’s Office and complete the appropriate paperwork.
