IL253

This is a painting class. This class explores the possibilities for self-expression and story-telling with color and composition. Students will build on their knowledge of color theory and composition gained in the Foundation classes, further exploring color systems and how color and texture can be used as compositional elements. Students will gain techniques and knowledge of mediums used with watercolor and acrylic paint. The first part of this class will focus on correct color mixing and understanding of formal elements of composition. In the second part, students will be asked to apply that understanding by manipulating the color and compositional elements in front of them to achieve different effects. The final part of this course is an independent final project proposed by the student, giving him/her an opportunity to apply the skills and techniques learned over the semester to their own choice of subject matter and conceptual content.
