Advanced Painting I

Class discussions, critiques and readings on art history and contemporary art will aide students who want to further develop their ideas in painting in developing a context for their work. We will be painting with acrylics, the commercial brands, and you will learn to make your own paint by using water-dispersed pigments and a variety of polymer emulsions with different properties. This will encourage experimentation with the painting media and aid painters in integrating the process of painting with their ideas. There will be two required workshops: one in PhotoShop and one in photography. The student will produce drawings from their digital work as a preliminary step for the paintings. This course requires the student to work independently in the studio. Please bring a visual documentation of your recent painting to the interview. Completion of one college-level painting class is required.
