Performance Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to do the following:



Object of this course is to ‘think critically’ meaning to deconstruct what is known, to analyze it through design, and thereby reposition thought. The main technique in critical thought is Design Process. Design Process, moving through steps of makings towards reaching a final Design Solution is the main activity of this studio as it establishes critical thought. The tools of Design Process are those core competencies of the profession, namely drawing and model making.

Instructional Methods:

Studio Process (SP) - students will develop their Design Process in studio as instructed (drawings, models, critiques, etc.).

Out of Studio Process (OSP) - students will continue to develop their Design Process as directed in out of studio assignments (i.e. homework).

FINAL PROJECT IS THE DIRECT RESULT OF BOTH SP + OSP AND I.E. DESIGN PROCESS. THEREFORE ALL OSP (HOMEWORK) IS IMPORTANT AND WILL BE GRADED AS PART OF THE FINAL PROJECT.

Additionally:

Instructor will bringing in examples of her professional work and discusses this with students.

Students will conduct research and present in studio.

Students will attend a field trip to visit Project Site.

Studio includes group critiques as a class + individual ‘desk critiques’.

Library Assignments:

Outside research is required to complete the Final Project.  This information may be found by utilizing the resources in the school library or other library research resources located in the City. In addition, various Internet web sites, publications, journals, and periodicals can supplement all of the material presented in class.

Grading:

Requirements for Successful Completion/ Method of Evaluation:

Primarily students will be graded on completion and competency of ALL DESIGN PROCESS (SP + OSP) + MIDTERM + FINAL PRESENTATION + Attendance 

**NOTE: THE FINAL GRADE IS AN AVERAGE OF MID-Term + FINAL

Grading  Policies:

Grading / Student Performance:

Grading Scale:

Guidelines for Achievement:

1. ZERO ABSENSES
2. COMPLETION OF ALL Design Process work both in class and at home (SP + OSP).
3. See final OBJECT SUMMARY: Week 10: 09/06/11

Course Policies:interpretive dance

• rap lyrics
• poetryetc.

• finger painting

1. We will be using the full class time, We will not be leaving early. Use the break to get coffee or food so that you can focus in studio.

2. OSP – TIPS IF YOU ARE STUCK: 

a. DO NOT ‘NOT’ DO YOUR  OSP !!! INSTEAD EMAIL ME FOR MORE INFORMATION AND/ OR DO THE BEST YOU CAN TO INTERPRETE WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU AND DO THAT.

b.   DO NOT DO NOTHING EVER, BETTER TO HAVE SOMETHING EVEN IF IT IS WRONG. You get out of this class what you put into it. Therefore if you do nothing you will risk failing the class and also not benefit from the class.

c.  There are only 2 ‘WRONG’ answers in this class: ‘DOING NOTHING’ and being Absent!

d.  Therefore all efforts at doing your OSP will improve your grade. ACCEPTIBLE ALTERNATIVES / METHODS OF PROJECT INVESTIGATION INCLUDE:

3.  METHODS/ TIPS for successful completion:

a.  Keep a NOTEBOOK just for this class and use it to TAKE VERY VERY VERY GOOD NOTES DURING YOUR CRITIQUE AND/ OR REVIEW as well as other class reviews and or discussion in class – THESE NOTES WILL HELP YOU REMEMBER THE CLASS OBJECTIVE WHILE YOU ARE DOING YOUR OSP. Keep Your Crit-Buddy Notes in this Notebook (see below).

b. try completing your homework shortly after or as soon as possible after the class, this way you will remember more of what we discussed in class and it will help you to know what to do.

c. do not email me the day or night before the class to ask about the homework as by then it is far too late.

4.  Student Email Address List (instructor to confirm current email addresses). Communication between classes is achieved through email. Students are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND EMAIL INSTRUCTOR W/ QUESTIONS WHILE DOING OSP.

***EXTRA CREDIT: 9 emailed questions over the course of the quarter, must be relevant to OSP = ½ grade higher example: turn a B to a B+. If you are the type of student who will have 3 absences and/or not complete OSP you should take advantage of this.

5.  Grading Policies based on points per criteria: Quantitative vs. Qualitative points, review grading sheets MID-Term and FINAL. (NOTE: THE FINAL GRADE IS AN AVERAGE OF MID-Term and FINAL) Also ABSENCES WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT YOUR FINAL GRADE.

6.  Discuss “Requirements for Successful Completion” i.e. the extent and type of work the student is expected to leave the studio with. See final OBJECT SUMMARY: Week 10: 03/15/11

7. Note: use architectural lettering for all hand written exercises. No exceptions.

8.  ALL COMPUTER DRAWING WILL BE PRINTED OUT BEFORE CLASS. No class time will be used to print out work. If work is not printed by class time it will be turned in late and therefore be marked down by one letter grade. It is extremely recommended that students plot out a sample of line weights and line styles of all CAD drawings to ensure that these will be accurately plotted for any final work.

9.  CRIT-BUDDIES each student will be paired into groups of two and for the remainder of the quarter act as  each other’s ‘Crit-Buddy’.

10.  Studio Classes:

1. How is this different from lecture course: absences, work in class, homework are crucial to passing class. SP + OSP = FINAL
2. 2 Parts to this course: Part 1 – First Day to Mid-Term – Thesis Building and Process Work  Part 2 – Mid-Term to Final – Production/ Implementation
3. MINIMUM OF 6 HOURS OF HOMEWORK TYPICAL – if you are spending less time than this it will negatively affect your grade.

Attendance:

Due to the intensive nature of the 11 week quarter system at The Art Institute of New York City, absences jeopardize participation and a student’s ability to successfully complete his or her studies.  A student’s academic performance is in pursuit of preparation for a professional environment in which there is typically zero or little tolerance for absenteeism. If, for some critical reason, a student finds it necessary to be absent, late, or leave early it is the student’s responsibility to:

*Notify the instructor, and make up all missed work. 

*Note that accumulated tardiness, leaving class before it is dismissed, or absenteeism will affect performance and the participation grade. 

*Understand that excessive absenteeism may result in failure of the class.

*Look for the specific participation requirements for individual courses, by referring to the course grading rubric within the syllabus provided by the instructor.

Attendance is taken every class meeting.  There are no excused absences, and the only consideration to be granted must be presented by the instructor to the department chair and the Dean of Academic Affairs.

 A student who misses twelve (12) hours in a course will receive a Withdrawal grade (W) for weeks 1 through 9 and a W/F grade after week 9 for that course.  Tardiness and absenteeism will be recorded in 15 minute increments.

A student who knows that he/she will be late/absent must contact the instructor via voicemail, e-mail, or administrative note.  When absent, a student is responsible for obtaining the lecture notes and homework assignments from other members of the class or the syllabus. 

Students will be asked to leave class if they are unprepared, disengaged, sleeping, disruptive, or otherwise compromising the educational experience of students who are motivated and trying to work.

Students who do not attend classes for 14 consecutive days will be dropped from school from the last date they attended school; exceptions will be made only on the basis of appropriate documentation presented to the Dean of Academic Affairs.

Students taking minimally twelve credits, who have perfect attendance for all courses registered in a particular quarter will receive a $100 tuition credit for the subsequent quarter of enrollment in the school. Details regarding this tuition credit may be found in The Art Institute of New York City catalog.

CHAN MASTER, FOUR STAGES OF SEEING:

1. SEEING   2. NO LONGER SEEING    3. PROFOUND NON-SEEING   4. RE-SEEING – WE NO LONGER SEE OBJECTS AS OUTSIDE OURSELVES. THEY ARE NOW AN INTEGRAL PART OF OURSELVES – THE WORK OF ART IS AN EXACT PROJECTION OF TRANSFIGURED INTERIORITY.
