Painting from direct observation, including from the human figure, is the traditional basis for training the artist's eye and hand. Students will address the problems of painting by working from direct observation, including the classic genres of still-life, figure study, interior, landscape, and self-portrait. This course explores painting as an integrative process involving aspects of drawing, design, color and image in the organization of a two-dimensional surface. Students learn oil painting techniques and explore how these techniques can be used to create a successful image. Students are encouraged to find their own, individual approaches, and no particular style is promoted. Students are required to keep a sketchbook and to document ideas for paintings in words, found images, and drawings. Students will also view slides of paintings from diverse historical periods and there will be class visits to exhibitions in order to help students familiarize themselves with various painting traditions. Group critiques will also be conducted to help students develop a language for discussing their own paintings and those of others.
