Advanced Painting: Process

3 points · University catalogue

In this advanced course, students develop their own individual painting practice through experimentation, risk taking, and rigorous evaluation of the interwoven questions of material and content in their work. A special emphasis is based on what we can do with the process of painting, and its vast and ever changing array of procedures, substrates, approaches, and techniques. How can painting materialize your response to what you encounter visually, intellectually, poetically, psychologically, politically, and culturally? “Painting” is open in the class, and expansion and integration of other materials is fully acceptable. The course consists of directed but open assignments, presentations on historical and contemporary work, introduction to new materials, readings, individual and group critiques, and visits to working artists’ studios, museums/galleries.
