Introduction to Painting

Introduction to Painting
This class will cover the technical and conceptual essentials of painting. Students will learn basic painting skills from building stretcher bars, priming, composition, working with oil paint, and mixing colors. Beyond the basics, students will uncover painting’s specific capacity to underline the intersection of the “stuff of the world” and how we perceive it. Moving through major movements of 20th century art, students will step into the perceptual and conceptual shoes of these moments and occupy them with their own individual expression. Importance will be placed on class critiques, dialogue, and building a painting vocabulary. Each student will be required to contribute $100 towards the cost of materials.
