ARTS 048 - Visual Concepts and Processes: What’s Natural Isn’t Real

Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 HU

This is a studio course where students are introduced to painting in acrylics or oils from the landscape. The aim of the course is to infuse the practice of perceptual painting with an understanding of cultural and artistic conventions within which the practice exists. To establish this context the time spent painting in the studio will be supplemented by several trips to the Allen Art Museum and some reading. The class will be focused on the practice of painting and drawing, learning both how the art we make influences what we see and how what we see influences the art we make. Enrollment Limit: 12.
Instructor: S. Schuster
