• Arts 53B Syllabus: Winter '12 •

Course Overview:
This ONline (hybrid) course will further develop an awareness to the computer as an effective and important mode of communication used by artists and designers today. Since this course is an intermediate experience with Photoshop, it's a good idea to have completed Arts 53A or have equivalent experience to take this course.
Please see me if you have concerns.

Format & Requirements:

•	Login: You will be required to login for every meeting during the quarter. I will send out the web login address prior to the start time for each meeting. This is so I can keep track of positive attendance which is required by the college.
•	Discussion: Normally online at the beginning of the period (see Course Schedule page link at left). This will include pertinent technical and perceptual information. All of the course information and tutorials are provided online on this web site.
•	Projects: All of the projects listed at left and below have online video tutorials. Since we are online most of the time, projects can be completed at home and emailed to me. There will be new Photoshop CS5 alternative projects for this quarter. I will discuss this as the quarter progresses.
•	Grading: Will be based on the following: Successful completion of the 4 projects listed at left.
•	Grading procedure: 10=A, 9+=A-, 9=B+, 8=B, 7=C, 6=D.
