Fine Arts 229 - Introduction to Painting

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

The emphasis is on gaining understanding of pictorial space in painting and use of basic elements such as color, value, form, composition and surface. Through various exercises and formal/ thematic projects, students learn how to work with paint, make transition from drawing into painting, and understand the process of transforming visual perception and ideas into an image/object. Regular presentations of relevant historical and contemporary paintings complement the studio practice. Students are expected to maintain a visual journal, invest work outside the class, write response papers to readings and exhibitions, actively participate in discussions and critiques, and devise and execute their own final project. Prerequisites: Fine Arts 121, 231 and/or permission of the instructor. Registration limited.
