This course is a comprehensive introduction to painting. It will be designed to develop confidence and experience with paint and painting. We will examine historical and contemporary trends and paint from life models and photo sources. Fundamental techniques for basic ground preparation, oil painting mediums and direct as well as indirect processes will be taught. Representational painting will be the primary focus but experiences in abstract painting will also be encouraged. We will learn abstract principles that organize composition, depict spatial illusion and describe form while developing a shared language for critiques.
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。
