FAPT 401 - Senior Painting

Critical commentary centers on four areas of concern: 1. The character of the work – its formal properties, its physical properties, aspects of intelligibility. 2. Intention – the investigation of motives and choices. 3. Context – ways that a work relates to a larger body of work, both generic and stylistic. 4. Quality – approaches to questions of value. There are individual critiques each week and periodic group critiques, sometimes involving the participation of a visiting artist. Formerly PT 402A
