The Fine Arts and Foundation Program in the School of Architecture & Design at the Lebanese American University is now accepting applications for Part Time faculty for Spring 2014 in Byblos. The program is seeking faculty to teach the Drawing I course which is directed towards the development of a broad understanding of drawing as a transcription process, and as a plastic means to generating ideas. While initiating experimentation with different drawing materials and investigations in both traditional and new printing techniques, the course aims to gear students towards the development of personal interpretational skills related to image making, media, contexts and environments.
Drawing I:
This course is a study of the basic drawing techniques in various media with regard to landscape, still life, and the human figure. It explores different modes of expressions including notions of perspective in diverse compositions. Assignments emphasize the analysis and the synthesis of visual experience- ie, visual thinking or moving from perception to transcription.
Minimum requirements: Fine Arts degree with Teaching Experience in Drawing.
Duration of position: This position will be open in Fall 2014, renewable in case of mutual interest.
Application process:
Interested candidates should apply electronically by sending a letter of intent outlining their particular design pedagogy, a CV and a PDF Portfolio with examples of their professional work in addition to a PDF teaching portfolio.
