ART 322 - Painting Processes

This class will explore contemporary and traditional approaches to painting through an intense focus on process and materials. Color and composition will be studied through selected projects that include non-traditional tools and applications including pouring, squeegee, collage, stencils, photo-transfer and paint additives for the creation of diverse surface textures on a variety of supports. Most projects will use acrylic paint with or without additives. One project will explore oil glazed egg tempera. An attitude of experimentation and investigation is encouraged as students manipulate color and surface through a variety of short exercises that will culminate in a final three-part independent project using painting materials of individual choice.
