ART 321 Intermediate Painting
The goal of this course is to build students’ technical and conceptual skills in painting. Students continue to develop skills learned in ART 221 and/or ART 222. Each assignment will have a conceptual framework exploring different uses of painting media and conceptual approaches. Assignments will be designed to challenge students’ assumptions about art-making and personal expression. These challenges will in turn lead to deeper and more engaged personal work. Students will gain practical and applicable skills as they produce original works of art, and will be introduced to using the equipment in the Fabrication Lab to enhance their painting projects. Participants will engage in constructive debate through regular written and verbal critiques. Students will develop political fluency and learn to communicate effectively by analyzing historic and contemporary paintings through lectures, research and discussion. Assignments will culminate in a self- directed final project. Offered yearly.
