OFFICE HOURS: Tuesday/Thursday 3:00-3:30pm (Room 228), or by appointment

Course Description

Three dimensional design is hands on studio course designed to present the student with problem solving skills and experiences in the conceptualization of ideas methods of construction three dimensional forms based on design concepts. Student experiences will include concept development in a group setting, exploration of building techniques, working with various materials and tools related to three dimensional design and construction concepts.

Course Objectives

1. To assist the student in the comprehension of the elements and principles of design related to the creation of three dimensional form.

2. To assist the student in comprehending specific concepts, processes and techniques used in arriving at three dimensional forms.

3. To develop a basic understanding of the challenges associated with materials used in the creation of three dimensional form.

4. To develop procedural skills in the conceptualization and development of ideas related to the creation of forms.

5. To assist students with the development of a vocabulary that will enable them to reasonably discuss and critique three dimensional forms.

Textbook: Shaping Space: The dynamics of Three-Dimensional Design, Third Edition By Paul Zelanski and Mary P. Fisher

Course Prerequisites

All students enrolled in this course should have already taken and successfully completed Drawing 1 course and Two Dimensional Design course which employed the use of a computer.

Course Requirements

1. Class attendance, participation and work requirements

This course is almost entirely centered on studio (in class) activities, therefore, students are expected to attend and participate in class meetings and critiques. An accumulation of 3 absences during the semester will result in the lowering of the student’s final grade by one grade letter. An accumulation of additional absences (4 or more) during the semester will result in the further lowering of the student’s final grade by two letter grades. Students are expected to be on time for class and prepared to work with the required materials. Being tardy for class or leaving early three times is equivalent to one absence. You are tardy if you enter class after roll is called. This policy will be strictly adhere to.

Exceptions to this policy will be extended only to those who have a medical emergency or death in the family. In all instances the instructor will request verification from the student such copy of the obituary or a medical note from the hospital or doctor on professional business stationary.

2. The Sketchbook

Students are required to maintain a sketchbook that records visual ideas (DRAWINGS), processes, techniques, class activities and related artistic information. The sketchbook will be examined regularly by the instructor through the mechanism of scheduled sketchbook critiques.

3. Class projects and Critiques

Students will be assigned specific projects to complete during a given period of time. Final project critiques generally will be held at the conclusion of an exercise (i.e. due date).Critiques are important for students to learn from each other and to present their work to the class. All students are expected to present completed work for the critique on the due date. The instructor reserves the right not to accept late work turned in an after dateline. If the work is evaluated by the instructor after the deadline 35% of the total points will be deducted for the work being late and won’t have the opportunity of being redone. Work which is also determined to be incomplete by the instructor at the time of the critique will receive a final grade reduced by 35% of the total points. For redo work it has to be presented with the original evaluation sheet and the project has to show significant improvement or the grade will remain the same.

4. Make up work

The instructor only will accept late work one exact week from the deadline with the penalty of 11 points taken away and not opportunity of that project to be redone. The instructor can be notified at msarmien@kennesaw.edu. Last day of redo work is November 2nd

5. Evaluation

The award of an A to a student is highly subjective decision based on the instructor’s discretion and the total merit of the work based on the project objective.

Class projects will be evaluated based on conceptual and physical qualities of sketchbook drawings and project models, adherence to deadline, success of given objective, personal growth, creativity, aesthetic quality, Craftsmanship, use of media, tools and technique in creating a well built, clean, neat form. These are subjective decisions which will be determined exclusively by the instructor.

6. Test

There will be quizzes to work on the chapters covered in class. They will become your study guide to help you prepare for the test

Tests on terms and concepts from text and lectures will be given. Test dates are tentative, based on class progression. Tests will be made up only at Professor’s discretion and convenience.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND CONTENT

ATTENDANCE: Regular attendance is directly related to overall student success in this class. The studio nature of this class makes it impossible to do well or pass without good attendance. Absences and tardiness will hurt your class participation grade. If a student arrives after I have taken initial attendance, they will be marked tardy. Every class, participation will be recorded in the following manner: 100% for full participation, 75%, 50% or 25% for tardiness or lack of productivity, or 0% for absences. Leaving early can cause you to receive a 75, 50 or 25 for the class period. You are considered late after the roll or sign in sheet is completed. Accruing a 4th absence will result in an automatic grade of F for the course. The professor has the discretion to decide when attendance is taken.

Absences may be excused at the discretion of the instructor for the following reasons:

Military/Jury/Civic Duty: Official documents from appropriate military office / command or federal/state jurisdiction office.

CLASSWORK: Your class work will consist of assignments and more extended projects done in various media, so bring all your supplies to class. EACH ASSIGNMENT / PROJECT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED, DATED, NUMBERED and HAVE PROJECT EVALUATION CRITERIA on the back. Homework and projects are due at the beginning of class on the date assigned so you can benefit from the class critique.

Class projects and Critiques

Students will be assigned specific projects to complete during a given period of time. Final project critiques generally will be held at the conclusion of an exercise (i.e. due date).Critiques are important for students to learn from each other and to present their work to the class. There will be daily and weekly critiques in which the Professor will give feedback with suggestions on how work can be further developed. Critiques will be conducted in a non-threatening, constructive atmosphere. Work will be critiqued individually and collectively. Each student is expected to participate in critiques by asking questions, offering solutions and responses. If work is not complete, the incomplete work must be shown. Work must be shown during critiques (which means it will be put up for display with the entire class). Work not put up for critique is considered late and will have points deducted.

All students are expected to present completed work for the critique on the due date. The instructor reserves the right not to accept late work turned in an after dateline. If the work is evaluated by the instructor after the deadline 35% of the total points will be deducted for the work being late and won’t have the opportunity of being redone. Work which is also determined to be incomplete by the instructor at the time of the critique will receive a final grade reduced by 35% of the total points. For redo work it has to be presented with the original evaluation sheet and the project has to show significant improvement or the grade will remain the same

EVALUATIONS: Each project or assignment will receive an individual grade.. At least two of these works will become part of the ART Application Portfolio, and will need to be properly mounted (instructions to be given later). You will need to preserve the originals and make digital images of these pieces. Written explanation of project and how project was solved for these works (artist statement, criteria, elements & principles) should be professional and included with each work (this for larger projects)

TESTS: Tests on terms and concepts from text and lectures will be given. Test dates are tentative, based on class progression. Tests will be made up only at Professor’s discretion and convenience.

. GRADING: The grading of assignments and projects will be generally based on:

1. Craftsmanship (includes labeling and flapping of work)

2. Problem resolution/ knowledge of design principles (includes correct use of specific design

vocabulary as related to each project and used in labeling)

3. Creativity and originality

4. Class participation, including time spent in class working on assignment, participation in critique

CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE:

· Children or individuals not registered for the course are not allowed to attend class.

· No eating in class.

· No use of spray adhesive, fixative, etc. indoors.

· Do not prop open any doors or give security codes to those not in this course.

· Respect the University property (i.e. it is best to have a large piece of mat board to work on). Always leave the classroom and table tops clean, put away supplies and leave classroom clean. Make sure all doors are properly closed and locked.

· Once the class session begins, you will be expected to work and participate until break time. If you are late, you will not receive a personal re-cap of the day’s lecture. You will need to see me during my office hours or get missed notes from a classmate.

· Coming and going during class is prohibited, especially during critiques.

· Taking an excessively long break will also hurt your class participation grade.

· Students should be prepared to work during the entire scheduled class time. You are not allowed to work on other projects from other classes or leave early to work at home.

· While a collaborative studio environment is encouraged, students should be considerate and refrain from loud talking or other disruptive behavior. If you are talking excessively, you are probably not concentrating on the given task of the day. If you talk excessively and are a disruption to the class, you will be asked to leave without any class participation points.

· Students should complete all projects by the announced deadlines.

· Late projects will be accepted with a one-time ten-point deduction from the grade.

· Deadlines will not be re-adjusted for individual absences. The instructor will notify all students by e-mail if a project deadline is re-adjusted in the unlikely event of a cancelled class due to inclement weather or unforeseen event.

· Exams cannot be administered late if missed.

· It is each student’s responsibility to access D2L daily to reference project sheets, grades and check your attendance.

· Students should not eat in the classroom. You will be given periodic breaks. Food brought back to the classroom from break should be placed in your bag. You may bring and drink bottled water or soda to class as long as it has a cap. No cans or open containers. You are responsible for any mess you create from a spill. Do not leave your trash in the room.

· Students may listen to music during class as long as you wear headphones. Keep the volume down so others cannot hear. Remember, your music may become someone else’s distraction. Do not listen to music during critiques or lectures.

· Cell, smart phones, or other electronic devices should only be used for class purposes. If an electronic device becomes a continued distraction, you will be asked to leave.

· Students should print their names as instructed for each assignment. Work submitted without a name will not be graded and considered late once the name is properly added.

EXAMS/TESTS: Testing on terms and concepts from text and lectures will be given. Exams cannot be made up if missed unless official documentation outlining an illness or emergency is provided.

Course Syllabus Review Statement And Signature Form
Fall, 2017

1. I have read the syllabus for this course and have had the opportunity to ask the instructor any questions I may have about it. I understand the course requirements, grading policy, attendance policy, professor’s policies and the fact that we will be viewing artworks with nudity and discussions of the human condition for educational purposes (legal disclaimer under classroom etiquette).*

2. I agree to allow the professor or the institution to use images, copies or photographs that include my work or me. These images may be used for professional purposes in the future and will not necessarily include my name.**

*You may not opt out of part 1.

** You may opt out of part 2. If you want to opt out, cross it out.
