Description
This course is designed to introduce students to the dynamic conventions and material concerns of painting. These conventions of painting include: color mixing, paint application, building your own canvas, and the creation of ideas through sketching and the use the compute. There will be investigations into both representational and abstract forms. The beginining projects will focus of the student learning how paint functions and not to be so concerned about the finished product. As each student gains technical confidence, we will explore assignments through historical art movements and contemporary trends. There will be an emphasis on creativity and problem-solving skills. In addition to studio assignments, we will survey a diverse range of contemporary painting and its relation to its historical background. Prerequisites: ART 110 or ART 120.
