ART 298 - Abstract Painting

In this course we will consider abstract painting along a spectrum. Exercises in painting will include pure non-objective abstraction such as color field study, geometry and monochrome painting. Other projects will consider abstraction in terms of liberties taken with drawing, color or use of materials, but nonetheless produce recognizable imagery to a greater or lesser degree.

We will explore the interpretation of the figure, expressionism, invented space and the use of technology. In the second half of the course, each student will be encouraged to develop their own language of painting in an independent body of work.
