Description

This course introduces students to classical and contemporary painting techniques and concepts, with emphasis on the understanding of a formal language and the fundamentals of artistic expression. Painting still lives, landscapes, and life models from observation will let students explore realism as well as other painting styles.  Color theory, linear perspective, compositional structure, figure/ground relationships, visual perception, spatial concepts, and critical thinking skills are emphasized. Students will study and research major painting styles and movements in historical context, developing a “critical eye” in evaluation of contemporary painting.  Emphasis is on encouraging individuality and creativity.
