In this course students are introduced to traditional and non-traditional materials and methods used in water-based painting. Projects include painting from observation and the imagination, using current artist practices and historical examples. Working from a variety of subjects, students may use ink, acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media within their works while building skills in color, tone, volume, contrast, and temperature. Visits to the Art Institute of Chicago provide inspiration. Students should have previous drawing experience, but no painting experience is necessary.
"There was good instruction, room for inspiration by looking at the museums and work done by other artists, and lots of time and space for creativity."
