ARTS 204 Painting Studio: Landscape

Previously ARTT 254. Designed to build upon the methodologies, concepts, and skill sets gained in Painting I or Introduction to Painting, students are encouraged to further develop their aesthetic approach, technique, and overall direction within their work through experimentation and research into methodologies, concepts, and skill sets as they apply to advanced topics in painting landscape. A significant feature of this course is the opportunity for individual student advisement, helping the student to gain insight into his/her personal process and direction as an artist. Faculty may modify the major topics of the course each semester in order to present students with new approaches deemed pertinent to the practice of Landscape painting. This course meets in various locations around the county.
