'''About the course'''

An Introduction to Visuals For Programmers in Two Parts
seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding
of theory, practice, skills and fluency in the
visual communications realm for the
purpose of connecting visionaries across
disciplines so that new methods of problem
types and approaches may inform scientific
discovery and innovation in the arts.



Each Part consists of six lessons
Each lesson is four hours in duration.
There are weekly assignments,
leading to a final gallery exhibit.


'''Why you should participate:'''
If you come to every class and complete
every assignment you will have a portfolio
worthy of undergraduate or graduate fine
art or design school admissions and an
intimidating foundation in visual
communication.

You are receiving 450K worth of fine art and
design education investment distilled into a
comprehensive 12 week course.

You will become fluent in the language used
by artists and designers in every day
communications and you will understand
project approaches from their perspective –
you will be able to interface and lead a
group project that integrates both the fine
arts and the hard sciences.

'''Why I want to teach:'''
I look forward to seeing your response to the concepts and projects
presented. I would like to learn from all of you through studying
your individual processes. I am always looking to network and
anticipate some really cool ideas and collaborations stemming
from this course.

'''My thoughts on materials and supplies:'''

Teachers have a way of making you buy
a ton of supplies that you never use or need. Art
supplies are so expensive. My intent is to
provide you with a minimal supply list so that
we aren’t breaking the bank. I would advise you
to look around for these items and be creative
before you go purchasing them.

I don’t care what type of paper, pens,
pencils or markers you bring to the table. If you
would like advice based on what I personally
use then I will be happy to point you in a
specific supply direction. Shoot me an email.

I am recommending 8.5 X 11 because it
is a decent size sheet of paper for lugging
around and very easy to scan – and you will be
scanning everything. I personally never carry a
sketchbook – I find them constraining and
annoying, and the perforations on the edge of
the paper defy conceptual layout.

I advise you always work from one
rectilinear sheet of paper. I keep all of my work
on loose sheets of paper in the folder portion of
a 3 ring binder. I keep instructor handouts in
the binder portion. I draw on the paper with
the support of the binder and organize my
drawings in a portfolio (a manila folder) later.

'''The most important supplies you bring
with you to this course are an open mind and
patience.'''


'''Materials you supply:'''
Sharpies (thin, medium, thick)
Pens (3 varying line weights)
Pencils (4 h 4 b, I hb)
Markers (bic mark‐it 36, AWESOME
performance for value)
Charcoal (4 sticks)
White pastels (2 sticks)
Kneaded Eraser (1)
White pen eraser (1)
8.5 X 11 paper any kind, lots of it,
computer paper works.
12” Trace roll or 8.5 X 11 sheets
Ruler 12”
Pen knife
Extra Blades
Elmer’s glue
1 block of clay
Materials I will supply:
Acrylic paint and canvas
Colorform paper
Relevant software access
Large scale 24” X 36” printing
Tape measure
