4 courses with the subject IMAG, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
IMAG 101Image/Time3
90.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course In this course students use two-dimensional and digital media to explore issues of image and time. Concepts of representation, figuration, abstraction, sequence, and duration are addressed through the lenses of art, film and design. Inquiry-based research aids students in developing project content, an awareness of cultural and historical contexts, and the ability to analyze their art-making methods and the works of artists, designers and filmmakers. The development of common technical skills, critical skills, and a conceptual vocabulary provide a framework for future study. Students apply research to their processes and evaluate their work through writing and critique. The course fosters community through collaborative projects and incorporates at least one visit to an off-campus site. This course is not repeatable for credit. This course requires permission by the offering program office.
90.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course Students are introduced to the interaction of color and a wide range of color concepts across multiple media. Color theory is addressed historically through readings. Assignments in painting, collage, digital media and aspects of film will address color in optics, lighting, print and paint. Students will combine media and work on inter-disciplinary projects. Content will include color interaction, psychology of color, additive and subtractive processes, and color use in representational as well as abstract art. This course is not repeatable for credit.

IMAG 210Drawing: Natural Forms and the Human Figure3
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Drawing from natural forms and the human figure respects the historical practice of maturing the human gaze. This course nurtures the eye’s ability to discern the difference between gross and subtle distinctions in visual information and it poses projects and problems that improve the student’s ability to sustain observation and use vision discerningly, logically and intelligently as it applies to Art, Film, and Design. 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. Prerequisites IMAG*101 This course is not repeatable for credit.
