ART 272: Painting I

This studio course will address the fundamental artistic and technical issues of painting while at the same time stimulating an exploration of aesthetic diversity. These themes will be investigated in a series of three extended projects. Each project will evolve around one of the following subjects: form and design, color contrasts, and informing a painting's content. Throughout the term, various technical issues such as stretching canvases and archival technique will be addressed. A visit to a New York museum will also be scheduled.
