Form and Process: Investigations in Painting
S06, F06, S07
Mary Lum, Ann Pibal
This course introduces a variety of materials, techniques, and approaches to painting. Emphasis is placed on developing an understanding of color, form, and space as well as individual research and conceptual concerns. The daily experience of seeing, along with the history of art, provides a base from which investigations are made. Formal, poetic, and social implications within paintings both from class and from art history are examined and discussed. Students complete work weekly. There are regular group critiques, individual reviews, reading assignments, and lectures by visiting artists. A high degree of motivation is expected.
