Description
This course is designed for second year students to develop a studio practice based on their own individuality, curiosity, and creativity. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of materials, processes, and issues concerning the expanded field of painting. Through group discussions, instructor and peer presentations, and individual meetings with their instructor, students will begin to develop a strong base of contextualized knowledge that will foster the growth of their critical thinking and speaking skills, as well as an understanding of the nuanced relationships between material, process, subject, and concept. Through daily work in their studios with guidance from their instructors, students will hone their interests and abilities, and develop a capacity for research and growth.
