Digital Painting

Catalog description

Digital Painting is the generation of original art using software as a primary means of applying color to a digital canvas as a fine art medium. Students will build from existing skills covered in foundational art courses (Drawing I Representational Drawing, Color and Design, Expressive Drawing, Digital Media and Techniques) to create images that utilize photo reference, art history, observation, and conceptual problem solving. Assignments will explore the relationships between traditional media and digital media with respect to different methods of color application. Workspace organization, file management, and workflow best practices will also be integral to the course.
