Painting III

Catalog description

Students address fundamental issues of contemporary painting that include abstraction, narratives, mixed media, and hybridity. Social and environmental issues are addressed through projects. Critical thinking is developed through both individual and group critiques addressing the integration of form with content. Students are encouraged to create a body of work using the process of self-exploration and self-examination by dealing with diversified subject matter in objective and non-objective idioms. Both individual and group criticisms, combined with discussions of painting ideology expand the students' perceptions of themselves as artists within a cultural, historical, and contemporary context.
