The aim is to give students proficiency in the fundamentals of proportional measuring, perspective, composition and modeling form with light and shade. In addition to studio work, students learn by studying and copying from master drawings. As students gain proficiency, other materials or subjects may be introduced, such as the use of paint or outdoor landscape drawing. Periodic class discussions and written assignments help students learn visual analysis and a general approach to the criticism of art.

Student enrolling in this course should be proficient in drawing, but need not have any experience in painting.

Oil painting methods will be introduced with the study of still life, followed by the human figure with emphasis on the head. Direct observation of the figure will be enriched by the study of anatomical form and copies from masterworks in drawing and painting. Prerequisite: ARS 110 or FRS 119 or permission of the instructor.

The course will culminate in a project that takes students through the process of building a picture from initial sketches to a well-resolved composition. Prerequisite: ARS 210.
