syllabus — ART 205 — Color Theory
Color-Focused
Portfolio Work
overview:
Our work in class has covered conceptual
and visual/aesthetic concerns related to color. Create a portfolio-quality
artwork or design work in a medium where you have significant experience. This
is an opportunity to address a concept that is important to you and to create
work in your own voice. Your work must incorporate color in a conceptually
or aesthetically meaningful way.
work specifications:
- You must author all parts or your work unless you
speak to me in advance about why appropriation and authorship are
conceptually important to your work.
- No part of this work should be something you have
submitted in another course unless you speak to me in advance and no part
should count jointly for two courses unless you gain permission from both
instructors.
- You may choose any form of portfolio-quality 2D, 3D,
or time-based visual media as long as you have prior experience with the
media, the work is ready to be displayed on the day of critique, and you
bring any items you might need for display beyond push-pins.

must be larger than 150 square inches (for example a 10x15 inch image). Multiple
pieces can combine to total150 square inches.

in your work.

craftsmanship as it applies to your chosen media
