An introduction to the basic language of the painting discipline. Emphasis on the plastic and formal considerations necessary for work that willbecome an increasingly personal statement. The purpose of this course is to continue development based on Painting I. Individual expression will be encouraged through a series of larger works which require greater time and organizational skill. Experimentation in different painting media, including oil, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media will be encouraged. Group and individual critiques are required. Outside work will be assigned. The primary goal of this course will be to shift the responsibility of direction, problem-solving and problem- development from the Faculty Instructor to the student. But this will be accomplished with a great deal of faculty involvement and support. The class will begin with group assignments which will become increasingly independent. Group and individual critiques will continue as an integral part of the curriculum, with an emphasis on contemporary art and criticism.
Fine Art
纯艺是一种借助视觉媒介来表达自己思想观点或呈现某种现象的艺术形式，可以理解为相对于其他设计类专业更偏向于自我导向型，创作者往往也更注重于自我的表达，个性的展现，以及情感的宣泄。在创作过程中，艺术家会更多的选择直观的感官元素完成对抽象主题和概念的转化。包含的专业方向也非常多样，不管是创作主题、创作风格，还是材料媒介、展示方式，都非常多元化、综合化。
