Students study a variety of contemporary painting styles and review the works of painting masters. Exercises in linear perspective, foreshortening, and color theory are given. This course is a continuation of Painting A. Students may elect to concentrate on a preferred painting medium. Subject matter for paintings is drawn from a required sketchbook, student-planned photographs, or the environment. Paintings are analyzed in terms of color, composition, and technique.
Students continue portfolio development.
Students learn how to use a camera, process film, and print black and white photographs. Aesthetic considerations in compositional form, lighting, and subject matter are demonstrated through the completion of several projects. Students maintain a portfolio of their work. This course is a continuation of Photography 1A. Advanced camera and darkroom techniques are demonstrated and discussed. Students mat or mount work for display.
