CAAD Associate Professor Joe Morzuch led this semester's special topics course, Drawing for Non-Majors. Students were expected to meet four of the five General Education Learning Outcomes for Creative Expression:
- Basic Knowledge-Employ fundamental discipline-specific principles, terminology, skills, technology, and methods.
- Ethics-Demonstrate knowledge of and empathy for the diversity of values, beliefs, ideas, and practices embodied in the human experience.
- Creative Process-Engage in a creative process through experimentation, reflection, tolerance for failure, and revision.
- Aesthetics and Analysis-Use appropriate methods and tools to analyze, interpret, and critique creative processes, works, and/or presentations.
Students were also tasked with completing a signature assignment, a self-portrait incorporating an object of personal/narrative significance. Students answered a Q&A in order to choose their object of significance and decide how to incorporate it into their drawing.
