Course Description
This class is designed to introduce students to the basic elements of painting with water-mixable oil paint or acrylic paint. Specific problems are assigned to facilitate the study of fundamental paint handling, color mixing, and blending. Issues of form and space relationships, composition, and development of ideas are addressed in balance with the student’s need for self-expression. Class critiques, slide talks, and visits to the Addison Gallery complement and enhance the actual painting process. This class requires students to attend a two-hour evening lab each week. Prerequisite: for three- and four-year students, the diploma requirement in art; for one- and two-year students, Art 250.
