Observational drawing (ART1120)<\/a> 3.5-hour critique\/studio course. We will regularly take a 15-minute break halfway through class. The course is conducted in a respectful, collaborative, constructive, and critical learning environment. For each week, the class will begin with a critique, lecture, or demonstration by the instructor. The remaining class time will be devoted to in-class studio work or project introduction. Ongoing instructional assistance from the teacher will be available during in-class studio time, and by appointment outside of course hours.<\/p>\nIn-class studio time aims to allow students to work with hands-on studio problems to stimulate exploration and experimentation. This is also an opportunity for students to develop a visual vocabulary for seeing, explore new tools and materials, and find other ways to solve a visual problem or find forms to express creatively. As a class, we will use this time to have a dialogue to evaluate and talk about the strengths and weaknesses of your work and the work of others; and to find a solution to how the project can be improved in a further iteration. Students are strongly encouraged to take risks. Through risk-taking and experiments, students can find surprises in their work. Still, it’s also an opportunity to find success or failure and make discoveries, which could lead to other potential ideas and future projects.<\/p>\n
Studio Etiquette
\nStudents participating in studio classes held in RY403 and RY405 are responsible for maintaining the shared space. Materials or projects left in the classroom will be discarded. If you require a storage slot mark it with your name, semester and year. If you require a locker (available to all students taking classes in RY405\/405), please contact ArtDesignInfo@northeastern.edu to arrange for one. Formal instruction will end 10 minutes prior to the conclusion of the class period on active studio days to allow time for students to clean up.
\nClean-up tasks include;
\n\u2022 Returning easels and drawing boards to their standard storage location
\n\u2022 Returning any borrowed items or materials to their standard storage location
\n\u2022 Disposing of all unwanted items\/materials in trash bin
\n\u2022 Sweeping up floor if charcoal or other dry materials have been dropped
\n\u2022 Removing tape from the floor if you used it to mark your spot
\n\u2022 Wiping up floor\/walls\/desktop if paint has spilled
\n\u2022 Cleaning and\/or disposal of cups used for ink\/paint\/water\/brush wash etc.
\n\u2022 Do not leave containers of paint\/water in the sink.
\n\u2022 Globs of acrylic paint should be thrown in the trash bin, not put down the sink.
\nSketchbook
\nStudents are required to keep a sketchbook and bring it to each class. This sketchbook should be maintained both in and outside of the class. Students are expected to use their sketchbooks to focus on the documentation of the external world, such as travel, home \/dorm life, everyday object, and nature\/landscape. Practicing life drawing using your sketchbook will significantly improve your skill as a seer and a drawer. Students are required to show evidence of continuous work and progress throughout the semester.
\nStudent Responsibilities:
\n\u2022 Be on time and prepared. (Don\u2019t forget your sketchbook!)
\n\u2022 Plan on making mistakes and be open to them; they happen!
\n\u2022 Plan on adjusting and making the project better. It is always good to expand and learn. I have been making art for a very long time; therefore, I can tell the difference between work that has been considered, revised with great attention and those that have been quickly thrown together. No thoughts or effort will receive a poor or failing grade.
\n\u2022 If you do not understand an assignment or a concept, don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions during class time or with me privately, or during my office hours (you need to make an appointment). Please do not wait until the end of the semester to tell me you don’t understand something. Treat this class as a way for you to grow as an artist. We, as a class, are refining and practicing what we’ve learned, tying things together in new and more profound ways. Growing as an artist requires conversing with other artists, and this class should serve as a platform for you to develop and hone your skills.
\nASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION + LATE WORK POLICY
\nThis course will use Canvas to submit work and provide feedback in addition to in-person discussions\/critiques. Grades will be posted during the semester on Canvas. Final grades will be submitted to the registrar as per their requirements. Grades will not be changed based on student need, nor will extra credit opportunities be offered.
\nLate assignments will negatively impact your project grade at a rate of 10% per day including weekends.
\nIf you are using an iPhone, please note that Apple switched its default camera format from JPG
\nto HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Format) with iOS 11 to save space…. CANVAS will not accept HEIC images. To change your settings, go to settings, find camera, tap formats, and switch the format from High Efficiency to Most Compatible. Now all your photos will be automatically saved as JPG instead of HEIC and you can upload photos in the CANVAS app. If you don’t want your phone to use the JPG format you will need to download images onto a computer, open in photo editing software (ie: Preview or Photoshop) and “save as” JPG. Simply changing the file
\nextension from HEIC to JPG will result in an unreadable file.
\nGRADE SCHEME
\nUse the terms Always, Frequently, Sometimes, Rarely, or Never as your guide to assess your grade in the course.
\nALWAYS A \/ A- (90\u2013100) Exceptional accomplishment, contribution, attitude
\nFREQUENTLY B+\/ B \/ B- (80\u201389.9) Above average achievement, contribution, attitude
\nSOMETIMES C+\/ C \/ C- (70\u201379.9) Average work, contribution, attitude
\nRARELY D+\/ D\/ D- (60\u201369.9) Below average performance
\nNEVER F (0\u201359.9) Failure to meet basic course requirements
\nCOURSE MARK BREAKDOWN
\nAssignments 90%
\nAttendance + Participation 10%
\nThe criterion for success is
\n\u2022 Conceptual development and research (depth of ideas and content)
\n\u2022 Resolution\/completeness and finish of work
\n\u2022 Evidence of ambition and risk-taking (ability to expand horizons)
\n\u2022 Completed work ON TIME and submitted on time
\n\u2022 Attendance, professionalism, preparedness, attitude & worth ethic
\n\u2022 Participation, critique, dialogue, discourse
\n\u2022 Studio-based exercises and projects
\n\u2022 Share what you know or give suggestions
\n\u2022 Keep a sketchbook.
\n\u2022 Lectures and critiques will be an integral part of what we do. Take notes.
\n\u2022 Participate in group discussions, critique, dialogue, ask questions, or give thoughtful feedback.
\nATTENDANCE + PARTICIPATION
\nMy attendance policy allows you to miss two classes during the semester using Wellness Days or Excused; please have written documentation of illness (doctor\u2019s note) or verifiable documentation of family emergencies. Any additional days away from class beyond the two Wellness or Excused Days will be counted as an unexcused absence, resulting in your course grade being lowered by one full letter grade. Two unexcused absences: you will not be eligible to receive credit for this class.
\nI want everyone in the class to be successful. Late arrivals and early exits to\/from class are not acceptable. It is disrespectful to the instructor and your classmates as you will likely interrupt the class flow by doing so. Attendance and participation will be assessed based on the overall pattern of your engagement with the course materials and the community. Every voice is important. We will all work together to foster an environment where students feel safe asking questions, posing their opinions, and sharing their work for critique. All opinions are welcome, provided they are grounded in the evidence and presented respectfully. I reserve the right to manage, intercede, sideline, or stop a conversation if it leads us too far off track or disrespects others. If at any time you feel this environment is being threatened (by anybody, including the
\ninstructor), please speak up and make your concerns heard. If you do not feel comfortable speaking about it in person, you may leave private feedback with the instructor.
\nNo cell phone calls, text messaging, IM-ing etc. Repeated decisions to ignore this will have a negative impact on your participation score.
\nStudent involvement: Learning in this class will be both individual and collective. Brainstorming and critically thinking
\nwill improve when working inside the class and seeing other students wrestle with the assignments. Observational drawing is a brainstorming and investigative endeavor, and trial and error are equally valuable. It is essential for you to participate fully in class. This means listening to others in critiques and discussions, thoughtfully making contributions, and other tasks.
\nProcess, experimentation, and iteration
\nThis is the foundation for any successful problem-solving. It helps you define problems accurately, consider all the variables, and convert your thinking into visual terms. Use all available resources online: museums, galleries, movies, publications, and fellow students.
\nDocument what you find: sketch, and keep notes. Keep a record of what you do! You will thank yourself later.

\nUniversity and college policies
\nAcademic integrity
\nA commitment to the principles of academic integrity is essential to the mission of Northeastern University. The promotion of independent and original scholarship ensures that students derive the most from their educational experience and their pursuit of knowledge.
\nAcademic dishonesty violates the most fundamental values of an intellectual community and undermines the achievements of the entire University. The following is a broad overview, but not an all-encompassing definition, of what constitutes a violation of academic integrity:
\n\u25cf Cheating \u2013 using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise. If you’re not sure\u2026Just ask and I can help you determine whether or not it is cheating?
\n\u25cf Fabrication \u2013 falsification, misrepresentation, or invention of any information, data, or citation in an academic exercise
\n\u25cf Plagiarism \u2013 using as one’s own the words, ideas, data, code, or other original academic material of another without providing proper citation or attribution. Reusing your older materials as if they were “new” is plagiarism.
\n\u25cf Unauthorized collaboration \u2013 instances when students submit individual academic works that are substantially similar to one another. While several students may have the same source material, any analysis, interpretation, or reporting of data required by an assignment must be each individual’s independent work unless the instructor has explicitly granted permission for group work.
\n\u25cf Participation in academically dishonest activities \u2013 any action taken by a student with the intention of gaining an unfair advantage over other students
\n\u25cf Facilitating academic dishonesty \u2013 intentionally or knowingly helping or contributing to the violation of any provision of the University Academic Integrity Policy
