Requirement
this course fulfills:
None
Other requirement
this course fulfills:
None
Criteria for
Core Courses:
Describe how the course meets the specific bullet points for the proposed
core requirement. Give concrete and detailed examples for the course
syllabus, detailed outline, laboratory material, student projects, or other
instructional materials or method.
Core courses must meet the following requirements:
They explicitly help students understand what liberal education is, how
the content and the substance of this course enhance a liberal
education, and what this means for them as students and as citizens.
They employ teaching and learning strategies that engage students
with doing the work of the field, not just reading about it.
They include small group experiences (such as discussion sections or
labs) and use writing as appropriate to the discipline to help students
learn and reflect on their learning.
They do not (except in rare and clearly justified cases) have
prerequisites beyond the University's entrance requirements.
They are offered on a regular schedule.
They are taught by regular faculty or under exceptional circumstances
by instructors on continuing appointments. Departments proposing
instructors other than regular faculty must provide documentation of
how such instructors will be trained and supervised to ensure
consistency and continuity in courses.

Criteria for
Theme Courses:
Describe how the course meets the specific bullet points for the proposed theme requirement.
Give concrete and detailed examples for the course syllabus, detailed outline, laboratory material,
student projects, or other instructional materials or methods.
Theme courses have the common goal of cultivating in students a number of habits of mind:
thinking ethically about important challenges facing our society and world;
reflecting on the shared sense of responsibility required to build and maintain community;
connecting knowledge and practice;
fostering a stronger sense of our roles as historical agents.

Writing Intensive
Propose this course
as Writing Intensive
curriculum:
No
Question 1 (see CWB Requirement 1): How do writing assignments and writing instruction further the learning objectives of this course
and how is writing integrated into the course? Note that the syllabus must reflect the critical role
that writing plays in the course.
<no text provided>
Question 2 (see CWB Requirement 2): What types of writing (e.g., research papers, problem sets, presentations, technical documents,
lab reports, essays, journaling etc.) will be assigned? Explain how these assignments meet the
requirement that writing be a significant part of the course work, including details about multiauthored assignments, if any. Include the required length for each writing assignment and
demonstrate how the minimum word count (or its equivalent) for finished writing will be met.
<no text provided>
Question 3 (see CWB Requirement 3): How will students' final course grade depend on their writing performance? What percentage of
the course grade will depend on the quality and level of the student's writing compared to the
percentage of the grade that depends on the course content? Note that this information must also
be on the syllabus.
<no text provided>
Question 4 (see CWB Requirement 4): Indicate which assignment(s) students will be required to revise and resubmit after feedback
from the instructor. Indicate who will be providing the feedback. Include an example of the
assignment instructions you are likely to use for this assignment or assignments.
<no text provided>
Question 5 (see CWB Requirement 5): What types of writing instruction will be experienced by students? How much class time will be
devoted to explicit writing instruction and at what points in the semester? What types of writing
support and resources will be provided to students?
<no text provided>
Question 6 (see CWB Requirement 6): If teaching assistants will participate in writing assessment and writing instruction, explain how
will they be trained (e.g. in how to review, grade and respond to student writing) and how will
they be supervised. If the course is taught in multiple sections with multiple faculty (e.g. a
capstone directed studies course), explain how every faculty mentor will ensure that their
students will receive a writing intensive experience.

In this course you will:
explore multi-media rendering techniques;
increase your knowledge of art materials and graphic programs;
increase your hand-drawing ability;
study color theory;
study contemporary graphic styles;
learn about layout, grid systems and type;
increase your speed of drawing and producing renderings;
develop and share new processes with your classmates;
create or strengthen your own graphic style;
gain skills that are valuable in the professional workplace, and
create work that is portfolio quality.
Expectations:
Students will come to class with an open and positive attitude, prepared to work,
and to be creative participants in this active
workshop.
Participation is mandatory.
Your participation is crucial to the success of this class and for your own individual
success. Students will be encouraged to share
new discoveries, processes, artists, and drawing styles with the class.
Timely attendance is critical.
If you need to miss class, please let me know well in advance.
If you are sick, if there is an emergency, or if it is absolutely necessary to take more
than one excused absence contact me as soon
as possible to make arrangements to complete missed in-class project work. The
amount and nature of work will be negotiated
individually.
Late Work
Late work will not be accepted except for reasons or illness or personal emergencies.
Course Folder.
Readings and other course materials will be available in the course folder on Moodle
website. Assignments and fi nal renderings will
be submitted through Moodle website and are due to be uploaded on Moodle before
the following class. See the course Moodle
website course folder ( LA5377).
Sketchbook
Keeping a sketchbook for a Landscape Architect proves to be a valuable learning
experience. With a sketchbook your work in
drawing, composition, color, ideas and thoughts are bound and stored for a ready to
use reference. Rapid and frequent sketching
helps to evolve individual drawing style. Expressing what you see and feel thus
becomes an intuitive process.
Use soft pencil (B2, B4, B6) and charcoal which allow to draw soft thick lines in a
gliding motion, and just a rub of a fi nger will
produce a tone of velvet.
Recommended size for sketchbook is 8.5 x 11 or similar. All of the assigned
exercises required in sketchbook will be reviewed
during the pin ups. Sketchbook needs to be maintained throughout the semester
and updated according to feedback.
Sketching is a way of seeing, so make sure to sketch often to see more.
Class Materials
Laptop and Adobe Creative Suite 5.5/6 are crucial for class process. Digital camera
with manual options is greatly recommended for
site inventory process. I will let you know what materials to bring to class. If you do
not arrive with the materials you cannot fully
participate and this will aff ect your grade.
Digital Entourage/Library
Needs to be maintained, organized and updated throughout the semester. Collection
of analog/digital elements is crucial for mixed
media rendering process and success.
