Painting 2 is an advanced course. This course is designed to build upon the foundational skills and techniques that were introduced in Painting I. Students will
continue to work with oil, acrylic, and watercolor paints. Students will further explore the many ways paint can be handled and applied. Instruction will be given
on preparation of materials and students will delve into more advanced technical aspects of color, light, texture, transparency, impasto and composition.
Exercises will become more complex as students work from initial sketches to more developed pieces. While working to further an understanding of the painting
medium, students will be challenged to translate concepts into visual images that work. Painting 2 students will prepare, present, and execute independent
project proposals. Stress will be given to the proper use of equipment and vocabulary. The course includes a cultural and historical study of master art works of
different periods and styles. Students will produce a portfolio of art works that will document and reflect their visual explorations.
