basic understanding of composition and color theory.
*Students must take the Fall semester previous to taking the
Spring semester as this is a sequential course.

PT265 - PAINTING II
3 credits
The
Spring semester focuses on the figure. Students articulate
the volume of the human form first in monochrome and then
through color. The objective is to create a viable and
credible interpretation of the figure using anatomical and
relational drawing skills as well as subtle gradations of
color/value to turn the form. An active critique component
provides valuable feedback to help students to assess
compositional skills as they begin to develop deeper meaning
and content.

PT280-5/380-5/480-5 PORTRAIT
1.5 credits
This course offers the student a systematic approach for the drawing and painting of portraits in a carefully controlled environment. The initial focus is on, but not limited to, the study of the clothed model as sculptural form in space. Light reflecting off the various planes of the subject are translated first into patterns of value, then into color. Resemblance is a natural by-product of the process. As students progress and display basic competence in generating a recognizable image, they will be encouraged to explore the use of social and painting conventions in making paintings that reflect more than a subject’s physical characteristics. The role of the portrait and its changing stature in the world of Fine Art will be discussed. Students may work in any medium, but oil or watercolor are recommended. |
