COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will be a hands-on and foundational painting studio course with a focus and emphasis on color. Students will be introduced to painting in oil (mainly) and a variety of color systems and exercises (neutralizing colors, monochromatic, complementary, CMYK, Zorn palette, Albers, etc.) through various assignments and exercises to practice these color relationships. There is an emphasis on working mainly from observation to start and branching out to incorporate imagination and other forms of working later in the semester. The objective of this course is for students to build foundational skills for a continued art practice in painting and thinking in/through color and possibly relate it back to their own areas of study. Regardless of your area(s) of study, all students will be asked to find their own use and inspiration for painting.
