Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Students will learn art history, subject matter selection, composition, use of the golden mean, perspective and aerial perspective, value, preparation of the gesso ground and board, use of a grid, charcoal sketching, grayscale and verdaccio underpainting, color mixing and theory, skin tone palettes, rendering a likeness of the subject, lighting, application of various mediums, anatomy, glazing, framing and preservation of finished work. Each student will apply these techniques to their own oil painting during the five day workshop. A feedback survey will be distributed to the students on the last day of class. This information will be compiled and shared with all students, the instructor, and included in the final report.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Responses to the survey were 100% positive for the quality of instruction and the material covered. There were several ratings below a three regarding affordability of the seminar and one student felt the lighting could be better and another thought the art room was too hot. But overall, most of the ratings were 4 or 5, 5 being excellent.
