ART 130 - Introductory Painting

Institution:

CUNY College of Staten Island

Subject:

Description:

4 hours; 2 credits The course is an introduction to the fundamentals of painting a picture. Students are first familiarized with materials, equipment, and studio maintenance. Basic pictorial concepts such as color, composition, perspective, space, and the picture plane are introduced. Studio classes are tutorial by nature but may be supplemented by group critiques. Students choose from a wide variety of unusual still lifes. They allow the student to return to his/her picture repeatedly over several weeks and outside of class time. Late-term gleanings can be reapplied to earlier efforts. Prolonged work allows the imagination to generate new possibilities from the initial attempt as the student is made to see as an artist does.
