Details about this class

Attendance and participation in all remote synchronous sessions is required.  The class is designed to provide tools for making paintings such as color mixing, color context, color composition, and color as emotion.  From weeks 1-5 assignments are focussed on these tools through specific exercises, and in weeks 6-11 the focus shifts to thematic exercises in landscape, portrait, animals, the night.  A short paper is also part of course work.  Homework should take 3-5 hours per week outside of class.  This class is combined with Art 281a, Painting II, in which these exercises are explored in greater depth.
