CLASS SYLLABUS: Get a grounded foundation in painting for realistic paintings on canvas in this stimulating course. Some foundation art experience in painting & drawing is helpful for this course, but not essential. In the first first few weeks, we will work on various drawing exercises: value, light, scale & volume, along with studies in negative space & proportion. Still life preliminary exercises will be assigned by your instructor working in pencil or ink. About half way through the course, we will move into painting: color theory, color mixing and application, along with bushing techniques & special effects used by the pros. We will also discuss & take inspiration from past & present artists. Final assignments & finish paintings based on students own personal themes or subject matter, from photos or real life matter. We will also explore student’s personal expression within the discipline of your painting(s) and offer a useful final critique. This is a very valuable class for students who are interested in a career in the visual arts.
***Please note previous drawing experience is helpful for this course.***
