Instructor's Statement:
In this studio-intensive drawing and painting course, students will focus on cultivating their own individual, sustainable, long-term drawing and painting practices with a base of material familiarity and exploration of dry and wet media, and an expanded field of applications. We will consider both drawing and painting as parallel modes of making without historic hierarchy of media.
This course will explore the boundaries of material, form, color, and gesture through a rigorous investigation of mark making in all of its forms. Experimentation is required. Students should expect group critiques, one-on-one meetings with the instructor and A LOT OF DRAWING & PAINTING! This will be supplemented with slide lectures, film screenings, and required readings.
Each student should come to class prepared to work in appropriate clothing or smock/apron that can get dirty. Please plan accordingly.
