Learning Goals
Upon successful completion of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of Archaeological Illustration with respect to methods and techniques used at an archaeo-anthropological site field lab and proper laboratory area, as well the skills needed to initiate and successfully complete publication ready illustrations. Learning outcomes will include:• The ability to choose the media that will best illustrate the object to its finished publication-ready state. • The ability to experiment beyond the traditional, by using a variety of tools and the mixing of such to complete illustrations that will be both in-scale accurate to its subject and creative in its interpretation. • How to integrate archaeo-anthtropological data and images in relevance and comparison to ethnographic data specific to the region of the site.• How to consider and calculate metric readings of artifacts and plotted cardinal directions in their technical drawings, and longitudinal, latitudinal and depth coordinates on site topographic maps and wall profiles. • How to work from project images on paper from filed notes, photographic and/or digital form.• Best practices for managing time and effort per project in light of set deadlines.• Learning how to work both independently as individuals and most importantly as team members in group projects where the quality of productivity and the timing of project completion are essential.
