Welcome to Painting I!


This course is an introduction to painting with an emphasis on color theory, formal principles, content, and expression. The course will explore the technical application of paint as well as the impact of a range of compositional and color strategies. Working from direct observation, students will develop perceptual skills to create convincing color relationships of form in space. The studio course assignments will be supported by lectures that introduce both contemporary and historical precedents in painting.
