2D Studio Art

This course is for students of all skill levels who would like to learn new approaches or further their work with a variety of materials and methods. Students will explore perspective, drawing and painting techniques, work with mixed media, printmaking, and complete a non-traditional ‘drawing’ assignment. Students will be encouraged to think conceptually about the materials they use, and how they use them.

To successfully complete this course, students will need access to a laptop or desktop computer with a reliable internet connection and a working webcam and microphone.

In addition, this course may require purchase of texts or other course materials.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.

During the course orientation period, CLI asks students to complete a survey on their availability for live class meetings. Teachers set individual class meeting times based on student responses.
