Course Description
In advanced painting, students build on already-acquired technical experience from Painting I while developing their own image ideas. Through a variety of technical processes and conceptual approaches, students explore different ways of working with water-mixable oils or acrylics. Painting in series, mixing media, innovating paint application, and utilizing collage and assemblage structure when appropriate further extend the possibilities for thinking about what a painting can be. Emphasis is placed on cultivating solid technical skills as well as inventive and challenging approaches to subjects that encourage individual artistic and personal growth. Critiques, Addison Gallery visits, and exploration of artists’ work and art historical issues relevant to the student’s paintings are important components of this course. Painting II has a required two-hour evening lab. Prerequisite: Art 305 or permission of the instructor.
