3 credits 90.0 hours
200 level undergraduate course

This course in studio painting is designed to immerse students in the practice, language, and history of painting. This class aims to meet the expectations of its students by working toward the goals of personal expression and cultural address. Assignments are designed and serve to challenge students to discover possibilities that expand their knowledge, imagination, and technical abilities. The course structure provides two primary functions; one cultivating the craft of painting, developing a technical and formal vocabulary; secondly, painting serves as an idiom for experimentation and innovative testing of perceptual and conceptual problems. Yet another general objective is for students to translate subjective experience into objective form to provide a gift” experience to those encountering the work.”
