Introduction to Painting

Catalog description

This course introduces painting as a materially intrinsic process that translates visual perception, narrative and human emotion into viscous materials on a two-dimensional surface. This course uses acrylic paint and emphasizes the full process of creating a painting. Students are expected to have a preliminary understanding of the principles and elements of art and design before enrolling in this class, but color specifically will be introduced as it applies to introductory painting. This is an experiential course, and thus sustained active learning is expected.
