Painting I

Catalog description

This course concentrates on becoming familiar and proficient with the basics of image-making through painting, developing good studio practice, introducing terminology, developing language and examining the work of established professional painters, so that constructive discussions and self-analysis may take place. The subject is studio-based, and the course focuses on working from life (meaning that students work from their actual visual experience) or on learning from the attempt to express an interior reality. Working from various motifs as appropriate, including the landscape, still life and the figure, students research form and space using paint.
