Course Outcomes: The objective of this course is to continue the development of
personal expression through the medium of paint. The course will reflect on the influences and
conventions of painting beginning with the dawn of time through Contemporary
Art. The students will begin to develop
personal avenues of expression using various techniques and mediums of
painting. The emphasis will be on this
personal development and its impact on works in studies as well as finished paintings.
Grading and
Evaluation
Students will need to complete 2 major projects. They will also present accompanying studies
and intellectual research to substantiate these paintings. Studies from life and personal interests will
be a major component of their work, therefore attendance is mandatory. Three unexcused missed classes will result in
the dropping of the letter grade by 1, 5 absences the grade will be lowered by
2. I will evaluate the content as

Blog
You will be responsible for a weekly blog post related to
your personal avenue of expression.
Historical and contemporary painters should be used as influence and
inspiration.
Critiques
Your finished major paintings will be looked at and
discussed critically with your peers.
Attendance and participation is mandatory. This is one of the most important tools
artists use to help reflect and improve their work. I will be available for one private critique
for each project to be scheduled during the semester.
Painting Studies
These studies will consume a great amount of studio time
during the semester. They will be used
to improve technique and as a guide through experimentation and exploration. They should show a cohesive and substantial
thought process and become more directly integrated to the 2 major painting
projects.
Mid Term and Final Painting
These paintings are complex and take a great amount of time
to develop. They will be worked on
during the semester on a continual basis.
The growth of the individual will be evident in their creative
endeavors.
