Students in this course will explore diverse approaches to painting abstractly, such as abstraction from observation, gestural improvisation, geometric abstraction, and systems painting. After examining why such strategies were used by previous artists, students will be asked to develop their own approaches to abstraction. Students will also develop skill and confidence in handling materials, the ability to interpret and make meaning in abstract images, and a personal approach to color.
Prereq: ARTST-120 or ARTST-131.
Students enrolled in this course will be responsible for some of the cost of course materials.
