Overview of class

This advanced studio-based course, designed for students who have completed Introduction to Painting, focuses on the dynamic practice of oil painting under time-sensitive conditions. Emphasizing in-class production, the course explores a diverse array of subject matter, including still life compositions featuring found objects, flowers, and plants, as well as figure painting from life models. Students will also engage with experimental approaches, creating paintings inspired by film, sound, and textual sources. Through these varied exercises, the course aims to deepen technical proficiency, cultivate responsiveness to real life source material, and encourage the development of a distinct artistic voice.
