Materials and Resources Book Url: NSU Book Store Section Required Texts and Material: N/A Section Recommended Texts and Materials: Color: A Natural History of the Palette by Victoria Finlay ISBN-13: 978-0812971422 Painting edited by Terry R. Myers ISBN-13: 978-0262515672 VII. Course Requirements Class Format: This class will meet at the scheduled time on the scheduled day. Before coming to class, you should have looked over the course calendar/schedule and be prepared to tackle the day's work. Participation, Class Decorum: Primary factors in determining the course participation grade are self- initiative, willingness to experience limitations and unknowns, participation in class lectures, demonstrations and group critiques. Also considered will be your use of time, activities surrounding research and competence in materials and techniques. Having your needed supplies and being prepared to work is paramount, including doing whatever outside research is necessary to proceed. YOU MUST COME TO CLASS READY TO WORK WITH ALL THE NECESSARY SUPPLIES AT HAND!! Work Pick-Up: It is your responsibility to pick up all of your work. Any work unclaimed by the student will be discarded two weeks following the last class unless prior arrangements have been made. The instructor reserves the right to photograph student projects as exemplar teaching aids. Studio Maintenance Each student is responsible for cleaning up after themselves. All used paper towels should be thrown out. There should be no debris on the tables or floor. It is crucial to dispose of solvents correctly. It is important to keep the sink area clean and the sink unclogged. Make sure you do not leave wet paint anywhere someone might sit or brush against. Paint belongs only on your painting, brush or palette. All your materials and paintings must be removed from the painting studio and lockers within two weeks of the semester ending. The instructor reserves the right to dispose of or recycle remaining materials/paintings. Safety in handling materials DO NOT SMOKE OR EAT IN THE CLASSROOM It is crucial to realize that many pigments, binders and solvents contain toxic or carcinogenic materials. It is advisable to never eat or drink near a painting area; avoid placing hands near mouth and clean hands when you are finished painting. Skin is porous and will adsorb what it comes in contact with. Solvents such as turpentine and paint thinner should remain capped when not in use. Bottles containing solvents for cleaning brushes should be narrow to reduce the surface evaporation area. Avoid soaking large areas of rags with solvents as that increase the rate of evaporation. Think of the health of everyone in everything you do. Be aware of what is being put down the sink into the water system. Scrape extra paint into the garbage - do not wash it down the sink. Please be concerned. Do not mix dry pigments in the classroom. When sanding surfaces it is advisable to wear a face mask/filter - not to be done in the classroom. Art Openings/Exhibits You will earn 1 point for each art exhibition opening you attend. You can earn up to 5 points. Take a picture of yourself at the opening. Please make sure the artwork is visible in the picture with the flyer so that I'm sure you attended. You will not receive the extra credit point if your face, the art, and the flyer are not visible. A picture of the building on the specific time and day of the opening would also be nice J Email: You are required to regularly check your assigned @nova.edu email addresses. Announcements and/or reminders of assignments will be emailed to each student's Nova email address unless otherwise indicated. Generated: 11/21/2018 Page 2 of 9

Course Policies General Policy: Deadlines and Critiques All work is expected to be handed in on time. I DO NOT EXCEPT LATE WORK. Work must be on time for class critiques. If you are absent when work is due, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SEE THAT THE WORK IS DELIVERED TO THE INSTRUCTOR THAT DAY. Check my office hours for an appropriate time to drop-off. In a studio course, critiques are the equivalent of an exam. Missing a critique is the same as missing a major test. Unlike a paper test, there is no way to're-take' the critique, even if your absence is one of the four you are allowed. Part of the dynamic of the critique is the group interaction and this cannot be replicated. IF YOU MISS THE CRITIQUE, YOU WILL FAIL THE ASSIGNMENT. In this Generated: 11/21/2018 Page 7 of 9
case, it is especially important to notify me ahead of time if you know you will be absent for some reason. Cell phones, ETC.: Cell phones are NOT to be used during class. If you answer or make a call on your phone during class, you will be asked to leave, your grade will drop by ½ a letter grade, and you will be marked absent for that class period. IPods, etc. will only be used with the permission of the instructor. It is imperative that only you be able to hear the music that you are listening to. If I am unable to get your attention while you are listening to your music, you may be asked to discontinue its use. Laptops will only be used with the permission of the instructor. Attendance Policy: Attendance: Attendance is mandatory and tardiness is not tolerated. Attendance will be recorded 5 minutes after each class meeting has started. This means that you have a 5 minute gap to be considered on time. Each class functions as a part of the continuing development of a student's artistic growth and work habits that will extend beyond this course. Students missing more than 2 classes over the course of the semester will receive a half-letter grade deduction from their final course grade. There is no difference between an excused absence and an un-excused one. The professor does not need to see justification. Students may miss class for a religious holiday, but no sessions beyond the holiday itself. Frequent tardiness is also unacceptable and will be treated as 1 absence per 4 late arrivals. If you get to class 30 minutes late, you will be marked absent. Please be aware that coming to class unable to work due to unpreparedness will be considered as an absence, and will consequently affect your grade. Student athletes, and students involved in other official University organizations should choose their schedules carefully, so as not to let their extra-curricular activity interfere with the work of this class. Students should establish practice, game, and event schedules in advance of the semester before choosing classes. This is an experience-based studio class. You will learn from me and from your peers, so it is very important to be in class. Lectures, demonstrations, and project descriptions will not be repeated for absent or tardy students. You are responsible for missed work, and you are expected to contact fellow students to find out what you've missed. If an issue arises that requires your absence or affects your participation in outside-class assignments, please contact me as soon as possible and we can work together to accommodate your need BEFORE the missed class.
