This course is structured to help each student develop a personal visual language for the creation of content-oriented paintings. Since this course is designed to build upon the painting fundamentals learned in Basic Painting, A20-0 is a prerequisite. Brief lectures, demonstrations and discussions will introduce and clarify new concepts. In addition, the instructor will give individual guidance through one-on one discussions with each students as the paintings develop. This course will concentrate on extensive darkroom instruction focusing on high-quality processing of black and white film prints.
