ART 1270 - Painting I: Color and Expression

Credits: 4
Painting I: Color and Expression is an introductory level studio course focused on the medium of painting as a two-dimensional media. Through professor-guided exercises, multi-week projects, lectures, and demonstrations, students explore mark making, gesture, tone, vibrancy, and the unique qualities of working in a wet medium. In addition to introducing students to the principles of working in the medium, this course also utilizes painting as an opportunity for in-depth investigation into color theory and spectrums. A range of painting techniques, movements, and genres are explored through the lens of the painting medium, including realism, impressionism, expressionism, and abstraction.
