ART 3116 - Intensive Intermediate Painting

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

In this course we explore the genres of painting from the inside-out. We focus on process and technical skill as well as the political and social underpinnings of several painting genres. As the course progresses, students improve at oil painting in its traditional 20th century use and gain some technical and conceptual experience with its contemporary manifestation. Our main focus is on perceptual studies, although we also work with notions of abstraction in painting. There are weekly homework assignments as well as a few reading assignments. This is a very structured course, designed to develop your strengths and abilities as a painter and to further your conceptual understanding of the medium.
