Through critiques, discussions and writing, the visiting artist guides students in assignments and projects, fos- tering an understanding of the connections between idea, media, technique, scale, process and content. Students also gain an understanding of the visiting artist’s own process of idea development and profes- sional practices. Prerequisite(s): PNTG 302.
Painting (Graduate)
DRAW 708 Graduate Drawing This independent studio course approaches drawing as a unique fine art medium, as well as a means for building momentum for works in other media. Students explore drawing both as a process through which ideas may be presented, and as a finished product with renewed relevance in contemporary art. The course encourages students to establish a working method in drawing unique to their respective studio practice.
PNTG 502 Graduate Painting Methods Studio This accelerated painting course covers fundamental considerations of painting as a form of expression. The course emphasizes both traditional and contemporary applications of paint primarily through a direct visual process to develop paintings based upon the optical effects of light upon form. Students will gain a strong foundation in the practices and materials associated with oil and water-based media. The development of a conceptual framework will also be addressed.
