This course will introduce current themes in painting and drawing and their historical antecedents. Technical issues will be discussed and practiced through a variety of materials, methods, and imagery. Students will produce a series of paintings in a wide variety of styles and media. Through exhibition attendance, visiting artist presentations, readings, and studio activity this course will introduce students to the discipline of painting and drawing as currently practiced and prepare them for more rigorous exploration. Students learn basic techniques of underpainting, mixing, blending, building form, composition, and concept with effective use of texture and color. Studio projects are augmented with slide lectures, discussions, and analyses of great art.
