ART-3902: Special Topics in Painting

Develop a foundational knowledge of working material and technique through hands-on exercises aimed at helping you understand the mechanics of fine art painting. Combine new knowledge with drawing skills to understand the concepts of contour, value, color, shape, volume, form and perspective for a more comprehensive experience. Principles of paint handling and proper use of material will go hand-in-hand in building skills to render objects and figures from life progressively from simple to more complex. Turning form and creating space, use of positive and negative space, color theory, and composition are incrementally incorporated.
