Catalog Description of the Course
This course will examine the fundamentals of painting with acrylic paints. We will focus on developing composition, gain basic skills in color theory, and learn how to see subject matters in terms of light and structure. I will ask you to address your work in a larger social and historical context. You will develop a clear understanding of the relationships between the elements of a composition and the basic principles of painting
Introduction
Welcome to Art 201, 202, and 203 � Painting.
This is a participatory, hands-on studio art class. Class activities will be a combination of studio projects, demonstrations, and critiques focusing on what you learn, and discussing works of art.
It is my responsibility to challenge you. It is also your responsibility to challenge yourself. I expect you to take ownership of your creative ideas. Communication is important. If at any time you have questions about the course or the steps involved in any artistic process, please see me in class, during office hours, or contact me by email or phone.
