Class Description:
As a studio course, students are provided challenging, individual critical feedback and participate in-group critiques focused on their work. The course is designed to confront the more complex problems facing the student artist today who already has a solid grasp of technique, materials and methods of painting. Similarly, ArtS 5120, is structured for students who have a need to solve the difficult, yet intriguing challenge of developing a personal visual language through the activity of painting. Emphasis will be placed on critical thinking, self-analysis, and the independent pursuit of ideas. During the semester student will focus on the clarification of their ideas as well as commitment and responsibility to those ideas. The goal is to independently develop a methodology that provides each student with the ability to creatively problem-solve. Likewise, an essential aspect of the creative process and creative personal development is experimentation. Thus, students are encouraged to experiment as they work toward developing a personal visual language.
