In this course, students learn to accurately discern relationships of shape, form, color, and value, and to interpret this information through various paint media. Students discover a painting’s potential as a medium of communication and creative visual expression.
Students explore various approaches to the use of watercolor, acrylic, and tempera paint. Students develop disciplined technical skills such as paint handling and application. There is no prerequisite for this class, though knowledge of how to draw is helpful.
