Painting - Intro to Painting with Peter Marin - STARINTRPTPM

This course introduces the student to the practice of painting by examining practicing the fundamental languages of painting such as color, form, composition and narrative. Comparative methods will be used to develop the foundations of a personal visual vocabulary with the aim of supporting a painting practice. Technical and theoretical issues will be discussed to form a frame of reference to serve as a reference point into painting. Class consists of slide lectures, studio time and take-home assignments.
