Section Description

This studio course is an introduction to and the practice of color theory, acrylic painting, and composition experimentation and invention. The semester will start with an Alber’s approach to color theory, where students learn, practice, and compose a variety of color exercises. The second part of the semester will focus on acrylic painting and the invention, exploration, and experimentation of composition in relation to content. The elements and principles of design will guide the formal development of the work; critical dialogue and writing will be practiced throughout the semester.

At least 6 hours of work will be expected outside of class each week.
