This is the second painting class of a three-course sequence. Course
objectives are (1) to learn a higher mastery of the tools and materials
of traditional and contemporary easel painting techniques; (2) to
achieve a theoretical understanding of intermediate color theory,
interaction and perception; and (3) to apply the above to the processes
of painting. Critical thinking is developed through both individual and
group critiques addressing the integration of form with content.
Students explore diversified subject matter in both objective and
non-objective idioms. Projects are designed to develop further painting
techniques, employ mixed media, stimulate individual solutions, personal
directions, and experimental approaches. Both individual and group
criticisms, combined with discussions of painting ideology, expand the
students' perceptions of themselves as artists within a historical and
contemporary context. Sequential
