(Fee: $300) Repeatable up to two times. ART-4170 Advanced Printmaking –Fa, Sp 3 hours This printmaking course is for the advanced student who is completing a concentration in printmaking. By allowing the student to specialize in a particular technical process, this course focuses on presenting a unified body of prints reflecting a personal style and deeper thinking in preparation for the student’s senior exhibition. This course encourages experimentation with the synthesis of analog digital technologies while maintaining traditional value for achieving the consistent multiple image. Prerequisites: ART-2170 Printmaking Foundations; ART-3170 Intermediate Printmaking. (Fee: $300) ART-4250 Advanced Digital Photography –Fa 3 hours Students will learn, create, and apply advanced photography and digital image manipulation techniques on location, in the studio, and with Adobe Photoshop. With instructor guidance and approval, students will develop and complete a significant, comprehensive photography project related to their major or area of interest that demonstrates technical expertise, knowledge, creative composition, and artistic expression in digital photography. Additional expenses for materials and services beyond the course fee are required for successful completion of this course — students should plan and budget accordingly. Prerequisites: ART- 2250 Creative Photography and declared digital photography minor or permission of instructor. (Fee: $100) ART-4260 Photography Portfolio and Exhibition –Sp 2 hours As a capstone to the digital photography minor, students will produce both traditional and digital portfolios of their photography work, complete proper archival mounting and framing of photographs, participate in photographic exhibitions, and develop and apply knowledge of copyright and legal and ethical issues related to photography. Additional expenses for materials and services beyond the course fee are required for successful completion of this course — students should plan and budget accordingly. Prerequisites: ART-4250 Advanced Digital Photography, or permission of the instructor. (Fee: $325) ART-4300 Art Exhibition –Sp 3 hours Designed to provide the student a hands-on experience in mounting an art exhibition. Topics include archival matting and framing, lighting, and hanging techniques, as well as publicity and signage. Studio work is a requirement to balance a portfolio of work for a senior exhibition. Capstone course. Prerequisite: senior studio art major status . ART-4400 20th Century Art –Fa 3 hours Investigation of the development of 20th century art history from Post-Impressionism to the present. Particular attention to the underlying worldviews and changes in media. Classroom lectures are supplemented with student research, critique, and museum studies. (odd years) ART-4440 Installation Art –Fa 3 hours Survey of Installation Art, culminating in student directed projects, executed on and off campus. Prerequisite: ART-4400 20th Century Art recommended. (Fee: $125) (even years) ART-4980 Special Topics in Art –Fa, Sp, Su 1–3 hours This is a workshop for students who are interested in a collaborative studio learning experience in applied art. Applied areas offered include painting (watercolor, oil, acrylic), pottery, or photography. Rotation of course content will be determined by faculty schedules. In instances where Cedarville University faculty are acting as instructors in professional workshops held off-campus, Cedarville University students who participate and pay Cedarville tuition can earn elective credit. Actual contact hours would determine amount of credit granted. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. (Fee: $75). ART-4990 Independent Study in Art 1–3 hours Independent and intensive study in a particular area of art for individual students who demonstrate special interests and ability. Industrial and Innovative Design (IDES) IDES-2000 History and Influences of Design –Sp 3 hours Survey of design from the 17th century to the present. The course highlights significant stages in the development and pivotal influences of design including technological advances, individual works, key movements, schools of thought, and approaches relative to time(s) and culture(s). Crosslisted with VCD. IDES-3110 Drawing in Dynamic Perspective I –Fa 3 hours This hands-on course includes lecture, demonstration, progressive hand-generated drawing exercises, and project work, all designed to reveal the hidden keys to training our creativity to perceive space and the geometry of space with greater authority. The principles of one-point and two-point perspective and related visual systems will be presented in a bold problem-solving format ranging in scale from the simple to the complex in order to accurately express our conceptual capabilities. (Fee: $350) IDES-3120 Drawing in Dynamic Perspective II –Fa 3 hours Building on the visual authority and refined hand-drawing skills developed in Drawing in Dynamic Perspective I, this course explores in greater depth the application of advanced perspective principles in problem-solving scenarios for a diverse range of “core content” industrial design exercises. Prerequisite: IDES-3110 Drawing in Dynamic Perspective I. IDES-3210 Language of Line –Fa 4 hours Rapid visualization (Power Drawing) skills will be presented in lecture, demonstration, progressive hand-generated drawing exercises, and project work in an in-depth study of the “language of line” and how it generates visual confidence. The course analyzes the three keys to drawing authority: form, position and texture. Further, the course will place these elements into a process that will produce and solve design problems ranging from understanding basic volumes to successfully illustrating complex volumes through study of applied science, ergonomics, and ethics. Prerequisite: IDES-3120 Drawing in Dynamic Perspective II. IDES-3220 Innovative Media Systems –Fa 5 hours This course will introduce and encompass the application of creative “mediums” to complete presentation graphic pieces. Design media such as marker, pastel, tempera, toned pencils, computer graphics, etc., will be utilized in demonstration and practical hands-on study to generate impactful presentation studies. Prerequisite: IDES-3210 Language of Line IDES-3310 3 hours Fundamentals of Surface Development I –Sp This study will introduce the principles of creating innovative shapes, forms, and volumes, and explore how they in turn influence manufacturing systems. Students will engage in using a variety of materials such as paper, structural foam, plastics, glass, wood, etc., to successfully convey a three-dimensional model interpretation. Prerequisite: IDES-3220 Innovative Media Systems. (Fee: $350) Page 195 2015–16 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Course Descriptions ART-4160 – IDES-3310
