DFA-251 PAINTING II

Painting II is an intensive studio course that assumes a basic understanding of painting materials and techniques. Figure/Ground relationships are challenged both formally and conceptually through an investigation of painting as it exists alongside a number of social, architectural, and technological forces. This class will engage the vast range of inter-relational possibilities in the making and experiencing of painting. Historical and Contemporary painting strategies will be examined in contexts of time and place. Individual and group critiques, homework assignments, I.A. (ideation archive) and artists statements are used to assess progress. Demonstrations, lectures, and field trips will enhance the engagement.
