Courses
Continuation of major and elective studios.
The major studios involve intensive work and research in the student's area of concentration. Students investigate the aesthetic, conceptual, technical, and structural properties of chosen media through an individualized study program developed under the guidance of their major advisors. Through questioning and experimentation, students are expected to consolidate technique with the development of strong, expressive ideas. Informal critiques and individualized discussions are scheduled.
Continuation of major and elective studios.
Final major studio/continuation elective studio.
Color, methods, materials. Introduction to color and the various methods and materials of painting that form the framework of learning to paint. Through work from direct observation of a variety of subjects, students learn to integrate shape, value and color in the creation of pictorial space and form. Students acquire the fundamental perceptual, technical, design and critical skills necessary to work in painting and begin to develop an understanding of the media.
