This course is designed to cover the basic principles, concepts, and techniques involved in painting - whether from observation or imagination. Subject matter will include, but not be limited to: still life, landscape, interiors, portraits and the human figure. This will be a rigorous course focusing on the development of critical skills. Students can expect to create several paintings, ranging from the quick sketch to the development of fully resolved works. Topics including the setting up of a palette, color mixing, expressive brushwork, etc. will be covered. The process of seeing/painting will be equal to, if not more important than the final product. The emphasis will be placed on developing and broadening the visual vocabulary, enabling the student to explore and express their personal creative vision with more confidence and clarity. Mandatory for Illustration majors, but open to all students.
