GENERAL EDUCATION GOAL STATEMENT: The General
Education Goals are designed to ensure that graduates of Tulsa
Community College have the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to carry
them successfully through their work and their personal lives.
General Education Goals relevant to this course include Critical
Thinking.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: The first objective of this course will be to master
basic techniques of acrylic painting through a series of exercises and
designs. A second objective will be to develop expressive brush movement
and shape. A third objective will be careful and thoughtful observation of
subject matter and paint activity.
TEACHING METHOD: The semester will begin with specific
exercises to learn the characteristics of watercolor. The class will
then develop designs to demonstrate the techniques. Paintings that
follow will emphasize value, texture and composition. Examples of
former student work will be shown as well as examples from books,
magazines and slides. Field trips may be taken if appropriate
museum shows are available or to draw outdoors for an assignment.
ADA POLICY: STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: Students with
documented disabilities are provided academic accommodations
through the disABLED Student Resource Center (918-595-7115) or
Resource Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (918-595-7428/
TDD-TTY 918-595-7434). If any student is in need of academic
accommodations from either office, it is the student’s responsibility to
advise the instructor so an appropriate referral can be made no later
than the first week of class. Students may also contact the disABLED
Student Services Offices directly at the telephone numbers indicated.
ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS WILL NOT E PROVIDED UNLESS
APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION IS PROVIDED TO
THE DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES OFFICES TO SUPPORT
THE NEED.
EVALUATION TECHNIQUES:
Students will earn their grade from accumulating points from the
following sources:
Four exercises- 16 points
Field Trips- 2 points attendance each trip (number of trips vary)
Field Trip drawing- 4 points
2 painting sketches- 5 points each
Value painting- 4 points
Outside painting – 6 points
Final painting – 6 points
Total number of points (based on 2 field trips) = 50 points
45-50points (90%-100%) = A
40-44
(80%-89%) = B
35-39
(70%-79%) = C
30-34
(60%-69%) = D
MAKE-UP & LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY
Students must make up field trips on their own but will lose
participation points. When students have missed class, they will need
to complete their assignment outside of class if the next assignment
has begun. It is possible to work in the art department before or after
class (or other days) in an area where no current class is meeting. All
late assignments must be turned in before final 3 weeks of class.
ATTENDANCE: Attendance is required in this lab class because all
the work is done during class hours. ( Late work will be done mostly
outside of class.) Instructions or announcements are generally made
at the beginning of class, so information will be missed if the student
comes in late.
Excessively coming in late and leaving early will not be
tolerated and will result in up to 3 points deducted from final tally.
Students are allowed 3 excused absences before an
Excessive Absence slip is mailed from Admissions as a warning. The
Financial Aid Office also receives the report. Excused absences are
illnesses which are reported to me by email, hospital stay or death in
the family with appropriate document (doctor’s note or obituary
notice.
Communication is important! If an emergency arises during
the semester, contact me to see if an arrangement can be worked
out.
Students must attend class to receive a grade.
FAILURE TO WITHDRAW POLICY: Failure to withdraw may result
in the student’s receiving a regular grade of “F” at the end of the
semester.
LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES: The Learning Resource Center
(Library) is located on the 2nd Floor and has many volumes in the art
section on painting and composition.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE: Please be thoughtful of others. Do not
use your cell phone in the art classes; if you must take an
emergency call, talk in the hallway. Keep your phone on silent mode.
Please clean up your table before leaving by throwing away any
trash or cups, spilled paint, eraser crumbs, etc. There are other
classes coming in who will appreciate a clean area.
Be attentive to instructions on assignments. Don’t leave in the
middle to refill a water container or go to your locker. If you arrive late
and a discussion is going on, be seated and listen before getting out
your supplies.
