Course Description
Advanced formal, technical and conceptual challenges primarily in observational painting are explored in this course. Particular emphasis is on aligning technical skill mastery with constructing personal expression and narratives. Larger scale work, portraiture, complex pictorial spaces, approaches to stylization, and advanced techniques in oil and acrylic painting are core to this experience. Content is approached directly as skill is developed. Possible directions include thematic considerations of place, cultural and personal identity, social and climate activism, the politics of representation. An engagement with both historic and contemporary painting and drawing serves as a platform to center and give visual voice to these issues.
