In this intermediate painting course, students build on the concepts and skills developed in Oil Painting I while furthering their understanding of painting tools, techniques, and image-making. Course content will include the study of traditional and contemporary uses of color, glazing techniques, painting mediums, stretching and priming a canvas, alternative painting surfaces, and painting imagery. Structured assignments on thematic motifs such as still life, cityscapes, light, color, collage, and composition will aid students in developing their style and point of view in painting. The semester will end with students creating a series of paintings on their choice of subject. Developing a deeper understanding of the history of painting; past and present and applying that in research and peer review will be stressed. Attendance for the first class is mandatory.
