Introduction to Painting guides students who are interested in expanding their understanding of the properties of paint as they create paintings from observation. Students will learn to set up a palette, mix paint, and match color to a still-life setup. Students will also learn how to create an effective composition, taking into consideration the elements of design. It is recommended that students have taken Introduction to Drawing prior to taking this class.
In this section of the painting, students will continue exploring various formal concerns in painting such as:
Seeing shape relationships
Seeing figure/ground relationships
Exploring color
Techniques for creating space; and
Compositional strategies
Pushing paint; deliberate mark-making
Developing language pertinent to painting to better discuss and critique work
Explaining the ABCs: You will notice that our Intro to Painting courses have either an “A”, “B” or “C” listed next to the title. That serves as a loose guide for students to take them in sequence. Start with A, move on to B, then C. These courses can be taken out of order, however it is recommended that they be taken in sequential order.
B/C: Who is this class for: This class is for those new to painting or those who are looking to refresh their fundamental skills before moving to the next level. It is always recommended that students have some drawing experience before beginning to paint.
