Courses in the core curriculum have been identified as “Writing Across the Curriculum” courses. Suggested minimum standards for Writing Across the Curriculum component are as follows: 1. The writing assignments should total 1500 – 2000 words. For example, a single report which is 1500 words in length could fulfill the requirement, or a series of essay questions and short papers (example: four 375-word assignments) which total 1500 words could meet the requirement. 2. The writing component will represent at least 10% of a student’s final grade in the MCC Form EDU 0007 (rev. 10/6/09) course. Is this course identified as a Writing Across the Curriculum course? Yes No Intended Course Outcomes By the end of the semester, students will be able to: 1. Draw objectively and descriptively by applying fundamental visual observation and drawing techniques. 2. Draw using a variety of mixed media. 3. Draw with wet and dry color media techniques. 4. Create drawings that evidence design principles and communicate specific expressive content. 5. Evaluate the form and content of drawings. 6. 7. Course Competencies and Objectives Competency 1 Students will demonstrate a variety of techniques and strategies for objective drawing.

  • Visual Arts – Specific Rules/Guidelines
    Visual Arts – Specific Rules/Guidelines VISUAL ARTS include many art forms that are visual in nature. The artist (student submitting entry) is a person who captures their own thoughts and ideas to create a visual piece of art. Accepted forms of visual art include: Collages, photographic collages (multiple photos cut/pasted), computer-generated image, design, drawing, painting, and printmaking. Non-accepted forms of visual art include: 3D artwork (artwork that is not flat on the surface). Reproductions or enlargements of another artwork. Reflect on the 2020-2021 Theme: I Matter Because… An explanation of the art form might be a useful addition to the artist statement. Whether an entry displays use of formal technique or a simple approach, it will be judged primarily on how well the student uses his or her artistic vision to portray the theme, originality and creativity. Copyright: Use of copyrighted material, including any copyrighted cartoon characters or likeness thereof, is not acceptable in any visual arts submission, with the following exceptions: • Visual artwork may include public places, well-known products, trademarks or certain other copyrighted material as long as that copyrighted material is incidental to the subject matter of the piece and/or is a smaller element of a whole. The resulting work cannot try to establish an association between the student and the trademark/business/material, or influence the purchase/non-purchase of the trademarked good. • Visual arts collages may include portions of existing copyrighted works, such as photographs, magazine clippings, internet images and type cut out of a newspaper, as long as those portions of copyrighted works are used to create a completely new and different work of art.

  • Mural Creation Best Practices
    Mural Creation Best Practices Since 2006, Heritage Preservation’s Rescue Public Murals (RPM) initiative has confronted the risks that community murals face by being located in outdoor, public spaces. Murals have been, and are an increasingly, popular public art form that adds vibrancy and vitality to the built landscape. Many communities in the United States, large and small, have mural programs or are actively commissioning murals. Unfortunately, almost every community is also aware of the negative image that a faded, flaking, or vandalized mural creates or the misfortune of an artist’s work that has been unjustly removed or destroyed. While working to ensure the protection and preservation of existing murals, RPM recognizes that many common issues that murals face could have been mitigated with careful planning and preparation. RPM has held conversations and brainstorming sessions with muralists, conservators, art historians, arts administrators, materials scientists, and engineers to document best practices for mural creation. We present these recommendations on this website. Recommendations are not meant to be prescriptive but instead to pose questions and raise issues that should be considered at each stage of creating a mural: planning, wall selection, wall and surface preparation, painting, coating, and maintenance. Each recommendation has been considered both for mural commissioning organizations/agencies and for artists to address their particular needs and concerns. Each section includes links to further reading on the topic. The recommendations on this website assume that a mural that is painted with careful planning and consideration to technique and materials and that receives regular maintenance could have a lifespan of 20-30 years.

  • 59 San Bartolo, Petén: Late Preclassic Techniques Of
    59 SAN BARTOLO, PETÉN: LATE PRECLASSIC TECHNIQUES OF MURAL PAINTING Heather Hurst Keywords: Maya archaeology, Maya art, Guatemala, Petén, San Bartolo, mural painting, artistic techniques, painters, artists, Late Preclassic period Like the artist in charge of drawings for the San Bartolo Archaeological Project, the murals of San Bartolo have been documented as faithfully as possible through scale drawings and watercolor paintings. The illustration process presented me with the opportunity to conduct a very detailed observation of both the pictorial technique and the style of the San Bartolo artists. Just like modern artists copy the works of Rembrandt and Michelangelo to get acquainted with their techniques, in the San Bartolo murals every line, color, figure and even paint drops were copied, providing an opportunity to study the Maya masters of the Late Preclassic period. Now, all observations will be presented in regard to the preparation of walls, the design, the composition, the pictorial technique and the style of the San Bartolo murals. PREPARATION OF WALLS Structure Sub-1 in Las Pinturas was conceived and built as a unitary addition to the east side of the mound (Figure 1). The structure was specifically designed to be painted with murals and intended to be easily seen. Las Pinturas Sub-1 is a single, open room with three main doorways in the façade and two secondary ones at the sides. The walls climb until they form a curvature similar to the springing of a vault, but it is known that this room was not vaulted. Instead, the walls continue climbing vertically until they form a frieze that protrudes slightly from the walls and surrounds the four sides of the room, and on which the murals were painted.

  • Similarity/Dilation Project
    Making a Mural Similarity/Dilation Project Mural artists use similarity to help them create their larger artwork. Muralists begin creating a mural by drawing a small picture with a grid of squares drawn over it. They then divide the surface on which the mural will be painted into a similar but larger grid of squares. Proceeding square by square, they draw the lines and shapes of the original drawing into the corresponding positions of the mural surface’s larger squares. Finally, they paint in the regions to complete the mural. The design in the small grid of squares below left is similar to the design in the large grid of squares below right. The enlargement was made by matching points in the original drawing to the corresponding points in the larger grid. For example, point A in the grid on the left is in the same position as point A’ in the grid on the right. You will need the following materials to create your own mural. • A cartoon, photograph, or small drawing to enlarge • A poster board • Drawing tools such as a ruler, meter stick, markers, and colored pencils Begin by constructing lightly in pencil a grid of squares on a copy of your cartoon, photograph, or drawing. The more squares you draw, the more accurately your mural will depict your original image. Again in pencil, divide the poster into a similar grid of larger squares. To create your mural, carefully draw lines and curves of the drawing in the small squares into their corresponding larger squares. Finally, color the appropriate regions.
