Full Description

The purpose of the studio seminar is to develop the student's capacity to see into the visible world, as well as themselves, and to transform his/her vision into art. The student is led gradually toward a deeper understanding of the relationship between natural and artistic forms through the challenges of museum study, landscape, portraiture, model work, and still life. Twelve hours of studio, landscape or museum instruction per week (three credits painting, three credits drawing per semester). Instruction is individualized and adapted to each student's needs and interests. Painting and drawing are taught concurrently and are complementary. Students must inter-relate their drawing, painting and aesthetic studies throughout the semester. 180 contact hours.

Requirements:
A. Attendance: Progress in painting and drawing is directly proportional to steady, disciplined work. Students are required to attend all classes. Any unexcused absence is detrimental to the student's final grade and the grade is reduced one half letter for each unexcused absence above four. Absences due to illness must be made up within two weeks. Make-up work will be assigned by the director.
B. Individual Student Project: Students are assigned projects (20 hours) related to their individual interests and needs. These assignments are made only after the instructors have had sufficient time to work with the students and know them well. 15% of final grade.
C. Sketchbook: Each student must keep a sketchbook of work done outside of class. The sketchbooks are checked periodically and are reviewed during critiques. 15% of final grade.
D. Seminar: All students in the Marchutz program are required to attend the Art Criticism Seminar (Art 309)
E. Mid-term and Final Critiques 70% of final grade.
