ARS 210 Introduction to Oil Painting
Students enrolling in this course should be proficient in drawing but need not have any experience in painting. Oil painting methods will be introduced through the study of still life from direct observation. Students will learn the materials and tools of oil painting; how to depict light and form through color; and how to develop a composition. The course incorporates both drawing and oil painting, moving back and forth between the media to emphasize their interdependence.
