As this is a course for students with previous painting and drawing experience, emphasis will be placed on furthering painting, conceptual, theoretical, and observation skills rather than reviewing basic skills and techniques.  The classes will consist of individual, thematic projects based in oil paint with an introduction to mixed media.  The term is divided into 2 sections.  Each section will open with a short discussion of a particular manner and method of working including artist references, conceptual background, and a close critique of the application used to create a particular tone and effect.  The majority of the class time will be devoted to applying these observations, techniques, and discussions in order to complete at least one project per section.

Contemporary forms, methods, and materials will be introduced.  Students, however, will choose their own subject matter and manner of working and discuss their needs and interests with the instructor.  This is an opportunity for students to start in-depth projects to be worked on during the course as well as to continue to explore new methods of working.

Note: Although the class outline may indicate a specific painting medium and subject, more advanced students already concentrating their work in one medium may continue to do so.
