This fundamental painting course will use the ideas of will gain experience in the fundamentals of painting and critique, including composition, color, material choices and technical considerations such as preparing surfaces and mixing paint. We will explore a diverse and 'unconventional' range of painting surfaces, sizes, and materials in this mixed-media painting class. For the first 10 weeks, there will be different weekly homework prompts, exposing students to a variety of materials, methods, and discourses in contemporary painting. These weekly assignments are followed by an extended ambitious final project.
Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work Materials Fee: $100. Field Trip $0. In this course students are expected to spend a minimum of 6 hours a week outside of class time on preparation and work.
