ART 121 - Painting

3 Credit Hours

The practice of painting exists within a history and tradition of thousands of years. In this course, students will learn some traditional techniques and methods for constructing a meaningful painting, and will also ask and begin to answer why we still make paintings. The act of painting is a physical and time-consuming act that seems to defy the expectations of our contemporary society. The study of and reflection around painting builds skills around observation, perseverance, investigation, and problem-solving. Students will develop skills in creating and assessing, with the use of acrylic paint and techniques, the application of personal, social and cultural communication through the study of painting.
