ART 3033 | Non-Representational Painting
This course is an introduction to non-representational painting. The course includes intermediate painting with further emphasis on the skills and techniques of painting.
This painting course establishes a distinct departure from the practice of observational painting. In doing so, the intention is to broaden the student鈥檚 working vocabulary and knowledge of painting. Studio practice, presentations/demos, readings, discussions, individual and group critiques will help students understand modern and contemporary approaches, strategies, and attitudes in this subject.
This class approaches painting as an experimental and inclusive practice. Lessons are formulated so that a diverse range of formal and conceptual topics are discussed and then utilized as themes for projects. In addition to traditional painting media and techniques, students are encouraged to challenge conventional practices, explore, and employ a variety of alternative approaches. Emphasis will be placed on the creation of 鈥渇inished works鈥, the exploration and application of media, and the ideational component(s) behind each work or group of works.
