PREREQUISITE: A353 Painting 1 (A,B,C) Students investigate the technical procedures for work in a variety of painting media. Course work increases a student’s ability to effectively use composition to create the illusion of reality on a two-dimensional surface. Developing an awareness of content, symbolism, and theme in traditional and contemporary paintings, students evaluate and critique the work of others. Students formulate original ideas, personal expressive style, and direction for future art work. Students will acquire knowledge in the selection of painting media and should be prepared to work independently.
