Painting I

PAINTING I: Students will gain experience using a variety of media to paint from observation.  Emphasis is on the use of design elements and principles and experimentation with different painting media to produce a strong composition, and on the continued development of the student’s perceptual skills.  The painting experience will be enhanced through exposure to historic precedents and modern approaches to painting.  Students will be responsible for developing an online portfolio to showcase their work and will be accompanied with written artist statements.  Sketchbook and research assignments are a part  of this course.
