Watercolor Painting ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Watercolor Painting is an introductory course presenting the technical and aesthetic aspects of this creative art form and an overview of color theory, along with some of its historical and contemporary practitioners. Approximately half of the course is devoted to studying the theoretical and historical aspects of color, through both written and hands-on assignments, while the other half focuses on painting. Each module includes images and text of historical practitioners, including contemporary artists, and assignments that focus on the study and emulation of master artists. Students avidly write about and discuss their own work, and provide explanation of how it relates to either the theory or history of its origins. Previous drawing experience is helpful.
