Painting & Drawing

Painting and Drawing provides opportunities for students to learn and apply the language of the principles and elements of design with color theory through experimentation with drawing and painting techniques. This course is offered at the introductory level intended to improve current skills and their ability to think and see creatively. Emphasis is placed on close observation, conceptual mapping, personal expression in, and how to use materials while relishing the process of making two-dimensional art.

A high-contrast, black-and-white image shows an easel or display stand positioned in a hallway or gallery-like space. Framed artwork and displays line the wall behind it, creating an abstract, graphic effect that emphasizes outlines, textures, and shapes rather than color or detail.
