ARTS 133 - Painting II

Emphasis on representational painting, but we will also strive to see beyond the appearance of things. This course will continue an exploration of painting techniques including more experimental media and approaches to the depiction of form and space on a two-dimensional surface. The game of illusion in trompe l’oeil will challenge the student as will the metaphysics of apprehending the physical world. Can the invisible be made visible?

After a basic introduction to painting, one can experience more elaborate and personal directions within the medium.
