Advanced Painting: From Landscape to the Interior

Advanced Painting: From Landscape to the Interior is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies class taught by J. Matthew Phillips.

Course Description
his course will challenge students to consider how landscape painting can inform and impact approaches to painting the still life, the figure, and interior spaces. How can moving between these different subjects expand our visual thinking and our approach to making paintings with regard to color, mark, depiction of light, and pictorial space? Students will be expected to produce a number of perceptually based paintings during class sessions. You will then be asked to integrate class concepts and the discoveries you make into a body of paintings and drawings that you will produce outside of class over the course of the semester. Class will meet four hours a week and the course demands a minimum of six hours a week of outside work. You will be required to arrive early and set up when we are painting outside. This class is being offered to upper level Div. II and Div. III art concentrators. Instructor Permission Required.
