Painting: Speculative Propositions

3 units

This studio course investigates the possibility of utilizing painting, in all its elements (traditional, expanded, and all things in-between), as a tool for explorative artmaking. Students investigate painting as a vehicle for experimentation, wherein they can cultivate methodologies that are both unique and, at times, parallel to other established research mediums. Class discussions, course readings, and critique sessions deepen student's methodological inquiries. Course sessions include off site visits to museums and experimental spaces. Students produce a self-generated body of work. Student work is evaluated through individual instruction and group critiques.
