Painting
Faculty:
The Painting Program consists of courses in acrylic and mixed-media painting offered during the academic year. Courses are taught in the recently renovated Guggenheim Hall Painting Studio, a facility with abundant natural northern light.
Painting I is an introduction to the painting process with an emphasis on developing observational, technical and conceptual painting skills. Historical and contemporary approaches to painting are researched and explored in individual projects. Students gain an understanding of color theory and practice, acrylic painting techniques, safety concerns, construction of supports and learn to apply that understanding to individual image-making.
Intermediate and Advanced Painting provides for continued exploration in acrylic painting and mixed media. Goals for these courses include: improvement in technical painting ability, development of individual expression and creation of a personal vocabulary of shape, form, color, etc., leading to thematic connections.
