ART281 Intro to Painting I

Students are introduced to the basic techniques and approaches to oil and/or acrylic painting, with an emphasis on working directly from life/direct observation (still life, landscape, and the human figure). Assigned creative projects explore the interrelationships between painting materials, techniques, formal elements and principles, and cognitive meaning inspired by historical and contemporary artistic practice. Prerequisite: None, but drawing and design classes are strongly recommended. Intro to Painting series 281, 282, 283 may be taken in any sequence.
