Today's Class- In class today the museum assignment was distributed and reviewed. The specifics of that assignment can be found here. We then looked at slides from the history of art, focusing on the many uses and functions of lines in that work. The studio portion today was a series of exercises in contour line.
How to make this up- Students who missed today's class need to make up this portfolio exercise on their own sometime before the end of the semester. Details of the exercise can be found here.
Homework- None
For next class 2/3/10- Bring your 18"x24" pad, pencils, and eraser. I'll provide the subject for more exercises in drawing.

1/20/10 Intro to Art
Today's Class- Today was the first day of the semester. I distributed and reviewed the syllabus. Students participated in a survey of previous art experience, which we discussed as a group. Most students purchased the textbook packet.
Homework- If you haven't yet purchased the textbook, bring $3 to class next week.
For next class 1/27/10- Bring your 18"x24" pad, pencils, and eraser. You will need a shoe for the contour line exercises, so either bring an extra or be prepared to use one of your own.

Welcome to the Spring 2010 Semester
This is the blog that I have created for my classes at Kean University. This semester I have two sections of FA 1000 Introduction to Art. Since the classes will be doing the same thing each day, these posts apply to both sections.
Each week I will be posting detailed information about what we did in class. This will include a mention of the kind of art we were looking at, a full description of the day's studio art project (with photos of student examples if applicable and available), homework assignments, reminders of due dates, and the list of materials needed for the following week's class.
The main purpose of this blog is to provide information to students who miss class for any reason. If you are absent, come here (information will usually be posted by late that evening) to see what you missed and get a head start on making it up. Or even if you never miss a class, but might need a reminder of when something is due or what to bring to class, this blog can be helpful. It's available to give you the answers to the most common student questions 24/7. Of course, if you have a more detailed question or need more information you are welcome to e-mail me directly and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible with the answer.
