Interdisciplinary Arts 0249 - Intermediate Painting

Based on the idea that the creative process is a cycle of rambling and synthesis, this course will value self-reflection as much as material output, encouraging an understanding of thinking and doing as equal partners in making art. Presentations on independent work and inspirations will invite a collaborative atmosphere. A non-medium specific course, less emphasis will be placed on specific techniques, and more on developing one's voice. Guided but student-led work will be presented in student-driven critiques, giving everyone the opportunity to receive feedback while practicing critical thinking and speaking about art.

Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work Lab fee: $40. Field trip fee: $15. In this course, students can expect to spend 6 to 8 hours weekly on painting and research outside of class time.
