ART 20700 Painting II

(3 cr.) Lecture-Lab: (0-4)
(F,W)
Painting II will continue to stress the process of painting as an imitation of nature through eye-hand coordination. Paintings are generated from photographs and still lifes as subject matter. Students embark on a wider exploration of techniques with a concern for accurate proportion, simple positive-negative/figure-ground relationships, and color dynamics. Technical realism is one approach used to develop a continuing understanding of color theory, composition, and spatial relationships. Emphasis is on the student’s personal development and refinement of personal expression. Media is limited to full-spectral wet oil materials. Prerequisite: ART 10700 (Humanities Credit)
