In this course, students will work on developing a
stronger sense of their own voices within the creative
process. As painters gain proficiency, they often work
on a series in order to explore an idea beyond a single
attempt. This approach allows for a concentration
that helps build a body of work. During this course,
students will work on their own series of paintings, and
they will be encouraged to keep a painting journal to
help document their visual thoughts. Class time will be
dedicated to slide lectures of art from ancient times to
contemporary, individual and group critique, and actual
painting. Students will be encouraged to visit galleries
and museums so they can see paintings in person and
deepen their knowledge of making and exhibiting
artwork. The course will culminate in the completion
of a body of work and a group exhibit portfolio.
Prior painting, drawing, or collage experience is expected.
