Painting I

Catalog description

This course is the first in a sequence of painting classes offered to the Tulane student, focusing on observational painting from life. Students will acquire the perceptual, conceptual, and technical tools necessary to translate three-dimensional forms and spaces to a two-dimensional surface using acrylic paint. Additionally, the course involves the application of compositional and color concepts to a two-dimensional image and the critique of such work. Critique will occur on both a personal and peer basis in the pursuit of developing the language essential to the analysis of visual art.
