	DRAW 110 Drawing: Objects and Space 3 credits 90.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course Students explore the visual world around them through numerous processes of perceptual drawing. Form, structure and space are among the drawing elements emphasized in this beginning course as it relates to Art, Film and Design. Emphasis is placed on visual judgment and measurement as student’s progress from understanding two- dimensional surfaces to the analysis of simple geometric objects in a shallow space. As the space and objects increase in complexity, principles of linear and isometric perspective are examined, and applied to more complex and prolonged drawings of interior and exterior spaces. Historical precedents are discussed, master works analyzed, reading and writing assignments, as well as off campus visits and collaborative projects are assimilated into the flow of class assignments. With these skills and concepts, students examine form, structure and space of various subjects while they improve their perceptual skills, strengthen their visual judgment and begin to define the vocabulary necessary for Art, Film, and Design. This course is not repeatable for credit.
	DRAW 111 Drawing: Natural Forms and the Human Figure 3 credits 90.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course Drawing from natural forms and the human figure respects the historical practice of maturing the human gaze.

The class couples an intensive effort at serious scholarship based on principles of visual perception with an awareness of the value of using drawing as a tool for thought. Basic drawing materials are used and exercises in perceptual skills are practiced. Analytical thinking permeates the course and integrates the quest for insights about the graphic and spatial qualities of a variety of subjects related to natural forms and the human body. Indispensable methods of recording information based on principles of location, size, proximity, orientation and proportion are explained and utilized in the execution of drawings of various scales and media. Reading, writing, research, off-campus visits and a collaborative assignment, are all folded into the flow of course activities. This course is not repeatable for credit.
	DRAW 112 Drawing: Ideation 3 credits 90.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course The course focuses on drawing as a way to discover, develop, and communicate ideas. Students formulate their ideas through observational drawing studies and drawings based on their memories, fantasies, or inventions. By working through many iterations and making choices, students use drawing to problem solve, and learn how to clarify and communicate their ideas. Students investigate mark making as a way to explore the language of drawing. Engaging in processes of abstraction, students explore expressive and formal concerns. Through drawing, using different media, students address issues related to changing viewpoints, scaling, transformations using multiple and sequential images, narrative, and isometric perspective. This course is not repeatable for credit.
	DRAW 201 Drawing: Material & Space 3 credits 67.5 hours 200 level undergraduate course In this course students will be introduced to multiple approaches to drawing across art, film and design.

This course is not repeatable for credit.
	DRAW 640 Drawing As Design Thinking Tool 1.5 credits 45.0 hours 600 level graduate course This studio workshop will have at its core both the philosophical understanding of when and why one needs to draw but also building skill sets that enable students to become fluent visual thinkers and communicators. The rationale that underpins drawing as a visualization tool is to calculate, consider, and develop sketch concepts to facilitate communication and collaborative engagement within a team as objects, spaces, experiences, and systems are crafted. Students will progress from drawing what they see in space to visualizing, designing, and documenting what they are developing as a vehicle of communication with others. Students will understand the many levels of design drawing from rough sketching and ideation of individual and team concepts, to perspectival spaces and renderings for the client and user, to measured scale drawings for fabricators and technicians. Students will gain the ability to strategically plan for and implement the appropriate level of drawing to communicate visually with the appropriate audience.

	ETEC 641 Integrating Media Literacy into Today’s K-12 Curriculum 3 credits 42.0 hours 600 level graduate course Media education adds value to just about every curriculum in the K-12 classrooms. Media education has become a growing priority in today’s classroom because of the extent of the media’s importance in people’s lives. However, many teachers are unaware of the necessity and the techniques for making media literacy an integral part of the K-12 educational experience. On average, children in their middle and high school years spend 6-10 hours a day engaged either actively or passively in a ‘media related’ activity. Because students, regardless of their learning style, attend more fully to activities and ideas that they connect with, the media is often used to influence them from a very young age. This makes it necessary for teachers to ‘train’ their students to analyze messages and understand the techniques utilized to influence them via a broad range of sound and visual communication technologies. Integrating Media Literacy into Today’s K-12 Curriculum will teach educators how to incorporate media literacy into the classroom curriculum, regardless of the subject taught. This course will provide educators with the resources necessary to help students hone their critical thinking skills in a functional context so that they are able to recognize various marketing approaches, identify propaganda, understand stereotypes, critically evaluate media conveyed messages, and use the media as a tool for life-long learning.

Students want to do well, and they want to be recognized for their accomplishments. Leave this course with a foundational understanding of digital badges- online representations of skills earned- and open badges- verification of student skills, interests and achievements- and how to implement a badge system within your school or classroom. Take your current curriculum, lift up those objectives, skills, understandings and concepts, to represent as badges that show criteria students must meet to earn them. The case study method will be used to illustrate the successful design and implementation of digital badge systems by schools and educators. Open to graduate students from the Division of Continuing Studies. This course is not repeatable for credit.
