Description: This course continues to expand upon the technical and aesthetic topics presented in Painting 1: Materials, Techniques and Concepts. Painting methods are developed through exploration of materials, techniques and compositional studies. Through the process of critical thinking and problem solving, students gain conceptual understanding, aesthetic responsiveness, and an understanding of contemporary and historical perspectives, which inform the various modes of representational expression within the field. Students are encouraged to explore the expressive qualities of paint media in order to initiate the development of individual artistic expression.
