I involves the study of the relationships of objective form, figure, head, still life, and landscape in quick sketches and in long studies. Media used include pencil, charcoal, ink, wash, and chalk.
Students explore the fundamentals of color using a variety of drawing media as a bridge to painting.
I provides students with the basics of form and structure. Using transparent and opaque mediums, students will build a portfolio of work based on observation, art history, and imagination. It is a comprehensive introduction to painting as a discipline of sight and insight. The course focuses on architecture, sculpture, and painting within a chronological framework. While allowing each work to unfold its fullness, the course will underscore the ways in which art shapes the world as we know it by shaping perception.
