Contact me for appointment. Course Overview: This course is an introduction to various traditional mediums and techniques of illustration. Each assignment will focus on understanding the medium as well as tackling basic illustration concerns such as composition, staging, layout, fundamentals of drawing, anatomy, perspective, color, and conceptual thinking. Required Book: 5.5” x 8.5” spiral sketchbook, 100 pages (such as Strathmore or Canson) Grade Breakdown: Grades will be based on mastery of the medium, composition, drawing fundamentals, and overall structure of the illustrations. Projects 1-6 600 Grade Scale (6 @ 100 points each) 900-933: A- 934-1000: A Final Project 200 800-833: B- 837-866: B 867-899: B+ Sketchbook 100 700-733: C- 737-766: C 767-799: C+ Pop Assignments 100 600-633: D- 637-666: D 667-699: D+ Below 600 points: F Maximum 1000 Points Sketchbook: Your sketchbook will be used throughout the semester to develop concepts (thumbnails, drafts, etc.) for your projects as well as for in-class assignments. It will be turned in during the final exam period. You may paste related drawings into sketchbook, but it should be done in a neat manner. Loose drawings, folders, and portfolios or other oversized pieces will not be accepted. In-Class Assignments: You will be given a series of in-class “pop”-assignments throughout the semester. The goal of these assignments is to help you hone your conceptual skills and come up with quick ideas and solutions to problems. These assignments will be completed within the class session and will be timed. You will also complete in-class assignments relating to the projects. These assignments will be graded individually and averaged to produce a single grade. You must be in attendance to complete these “pop” and in-class assignments (unless otherwise specified). If you have an unexcused absence on a day we have these assignments, they cannot be made up. 1 Deadlines: All projects must be completed and turned in during the first 20 minutes of class on the due date. Ten points will be deducted from projects turned in late on the due date. Projects not turned in during the class period of the due date will result in a zero and cannot be redone. You may arrange to submit your work early or send it with a colleague, but you are ultimately responsible for timely submission. Re-dos: From Projects 1-6, you may resubmit one project that was submitted before the original deadline. Late submissions cannot be redone. A resubmitted project may not necessarily earn a higher score. Resubmissions must be turned in no later than December 5, 2013. Attendance Policy: Each student is expected to show up on time for each class session. Three absences are allowed. A fourth absence will result in your final grade dropping by one letter grade. Every two absences after that will result in another letter grade drop. Example: If you finish the semester with an A, and have 3 absences, you will receive an A. If you have 4 absences, the A drops to a B. If you have 6 absences, your grade drops to a C, and so forth. Students will be required to sign an attendance sheet for each class session. Students may not sign in for other students; this will result in disciplinary action including possible dismissal for both students from the course. Emergencies: If you experience an emergency that will impede your ability to participate in the class (either temporarily or permanently), notify the instructor via course email as soon as possible. Do not wait until after the fact to notify the instructor of an issue that prevents you from keeping up with your work. Student Expectations: The University of Central Florida is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all persons with disabilities. This syllabus is available in alternate formats upon request. Students with disabilities who need accommodations in this course must contact the professor at the beginning of the semester to discuss accommodations. No accommodations will be provided until the student has met with the professor to request accommodations. Students who need accommodations must be registered with Student Disability Services, Student Resource Center Room 132, phone (407) 823-2371, TTY/TDD-only phone (407) 823-2116, before requesting accommodations from the professor. Grievance Procedure: If you need to discuss a problem relating to this class, you may schedule an appointment with me to meet outside of class time. Personal grievance issues will not be discussed during class. 2 Knights E-mail Address: Students are required to check their Knights e-mail account on a regular basis for notices concerning the course. All e-mail correspondence will be directed to your Knights account. Contact the instructor using the e-mail address posted on this syllabus. Professionalism Policy: Per university policy and classroom etiquette, mobile phones, iPods, etc., must be silenced during all classroom activities. Laptops/computers are for note-taking and classwork only. Playing games, using social media and surfing the web is not permitted, unless pertinent to the project. Offending students may be asked to leave the class for the day resulting in an absence. Please arrive on time for all class meetings. Students who habitually disturb the class by talking, arriving late, or are disrespectful toward their colleagues may suffer a reduction in their final class grade. Cheating and Plagiarism: Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. All work turned in must be created by the student turning in the work. Turning in plagiarized work will result in an “F” and could lead to expulsion. Projects based on works created by other artists or other students will not be accepted. All work must be created for this class. Academic Conduct Policy: Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. If you are uncertain what constitutes academic dishonesty, please consult The Golden Rule, the University of Central Florida’s Student Handbook (http://www.goldenrule.sdes.ucf.edu/), for further details. As in all university courses, The Golden Rule Rules of Conduct will be applied. Violations of these rules will result in a record of the infraction being placed in your file and receiving a zero on the work in question at minimum. At the instructor’s discretion, you may also receive a failing grade for the course. Confirmation of such incidents can also result in expulsion from the University. Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated. If caught cheating, a “0” for that project/test will be given, and you may be withdrawn from the course. In addition, you may not reuse projects from other classes in this course. Copying or deleting files without permission that are not your own could be considered cheating.

Presentation: All assignments must be presented with a 2-inch matte, preferably white. Project 1: Pen & Ink Illustration- Portrait (Due Tuesday, 9/3/13) Pen and ink illustration is considered an Additive method, which means you’re adding a medium to a surface to create the image. For your first assignment, you will illustrate a portrait of a living celebrity using the dip pen and ink. The celebrity should be a pretty mainstream celebrity which most people would recognize; nobody too obscure. This will be a straightforward portrait—no exaggeration of the features, and not a cartoon. Approach it as an editorial illustration for a newspaper, such as the New York Times. The image will be black and white and you will use cross-hatching techniques to emulate shadows and values. Materials and Specs: • Drawing dip pen nibs of different sizes with handles (Speedball Cartoon Kit) • Black India Drawing Ink • Small round brush (such as sizes 00-3) • 5x7 Final illustration size • Hot press illustration board (smooth surface) • Process White Artists to Study: Look at the work of the following artists to see how they used line to create shadows, value, texture, and shape: Robert Crumb, Burne Hogarth, Charles Dana Gibson, Heinrich Kley, Will Eisner, John R. Neill, Rockwell Kent Project 2: Pen & Ink Illustration- Caricature Portrait (Due Thursday, 9/12/13) For this assignment, you will create a pen and ink caricature of the same celebrity that you used for the first project. While it’s the same celebrity, it doesn’t need to be the same pose. For this illustration, you will incorporate exaggeration to highlight the subject’s features and personality. Materials and Specs: • Mapping and cartooning (round) pen nibs with handles (Speedball Cartoon Kit) • Standard drawing dip pen nibs of different sizes (also in Speedball Cartoon Kit) • Small round brush (such as sizes 00-3) • Black India Drawing Ink • 5x7 Final illustration size • Hot press illustration board (smooth surface) • Process White 4 Artists to Study: Look at the work of the following artists to get ideas on how they approach a caricature, what they choose to exaggerate, and how the illustration resembles the subject: Al Hirschfeld, Mort Drucker, Ernesto Cabral, Jack Davis, David Levine, Philip Burke, Hanoch Piven, Steve Brodner, John Kascht Project 3: Linocut Illustration (Due Tuesday, 9/24/13) Linocut illustration is considered a Reductive method, which means you are removing pieces from the surface as opposed to adding.

  • New Exhibition the American Muse Debuts at the Nmai
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2013 Contact: Eric Brocklehurst Tel: (401) 851-8949 ext. 18 Email: [email protected] Website: www.americanillustration.org NEW EXHIBITION ‘THE AMERICAN MUSE’ DEBUTS AT THE NMAI NEWPORT, RI- Friday, May 24, the NMAI officially debuts its new exhibition, The American Muse. The exhibition is in homage to American women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the illustrators who accurately portrayed the quintessential yet distinctly American feminine beauty that these women embodied. The American illustrators highlighted include Charles Dana Gibson, Harrison Fisher, and others of the greatest illustrators of the period, such as: Philip Boileau, MacClelland Barclay, Howard Chandler Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, Henry Hutt, Walter Granville Smith, Paul Stahr, and Albert Beck Wenzell. Each of these illustrators created their own prototypical image of ‘The American Woman.’ The public gave these illustrators’ artworks generic names as part of their respective oeuvre; The Gibson Girl and The Fisher Girl stand out as the most popular of all. These renditions of the illustrators’ ideal woman captured the increasingly independent spirit of American women. The illustrations both shaped and reflected American society and its notions of female beauty. Compared to women of previous eras, these women relished more freedoms, enjoyed greater opportunities in sports and education, and were at the vanguard of a time when women effected change through social and political movements on an unprecedented scale in Western culture. Also showing at the NMAI are Maxfield Parrish: The Retrospective, which has been extended due to popular demand through Fall 2013, and Howard Pyle & His Brandywine Students, showcasing the works of Howard Pyle, N.C.

ROTHER ABSTRACT Like Britain and continental Europe, the United States would utilize the poster to garner both funding and public support during World War I. While war has historically been considered a masculine endeavor, a relatively large number of these posters depict the female form. Although the use of women in American World War I visual propaganda may not initially seem problematic, upon further inspection it becomes clear that her presence often served to promote racial and national pretentiousness. Based on the works of popular pre-war illustrators like Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, the American woman was the most attractive woman in the in the world. Her outstanding wit, beauty and intelligence made her the only suitable mate for the supposed racially superior American man. With the onset of war, however, the once entertaining romantic scenarios in popular monthlies and weeklies now represented what America stood to lose, and the “American Girl” would make the transition from magazine illustrations to war poster with minimal alterations.

By Margie Goldsmith ou know how Imelda Marcos collects shoes?” asks Y Laurence S. Cutler, in ref- erence to his wife, Judith Goffman Cutler. “That’s how Judy collects American illustration.” Judy, known as the doyenne of the American illustra- tion market, and Laurence, a former professor of architecture and urban design at Harvard, MIT and the Rhode Island School of Design, are the driving forces behind the National Museum of American Illustration in Newport, Rhode Island. The first museum of its kind dedicated to American illustra- tion art, NMAI also has another distinction: It is the Cutlers’ home. The Cutlers’ blue-chip collection, which focuses on the Golden Age of American Illustration (1870–1965), represents the greatest assemblage of Maxfield Parrish works in the world: 68 illustrations. The museum also houses the largest collection of works by J.C. Leyendecker, James Montgomery Flagg and Charles Dana Gibson. The astounding inventory: roughly 2,000 paintings, 80,000 works on paper and limited-edition prints by 80 illustrators, among which is the second- largest collection of Norman Rockwell pieces after the Norman Rockwell, “Miss Liberty,” 1943, oil on canvas, 41 3/4” x 31 1/4”.

This comes with a magnificent account of the year’s exhibitions in Stockbridge and across the nation, educational and community programs, scholarship to advance illustration art, and curatorial achievements. This remarkable Museum does all of this and more, inspired by the values Norman Rockwell depicted in his iconic paintings. His works portray freedom, tolerance, humanity and kindness, integrity, honesty, and authenticity along with a joyfulness and celebration of life. These values inspire our visitors and staff alike. The Museum concluded its fiscal year on June 30, 2012 in a strong position. As noted a year ago, we eliminated our long-term debt. This year we are pleased to report that we have no short-term Norman Rockwell Museum President Anne Morgan borrowing on our balance sheet. Annual attendance at the Museum has generated good revenue, and and Chairman Thomas we saw nationwide interest and attendance grow for our traveling exhibition program as well. L. Pulling.
