DRAWING II
ART 200-96, Monday 9:30-1:00

Students will work with a variety of drawing media. As line in drawing is revelatory of the purpose and energy that creates them, there will be a focus in the athletics of drawing. Posture, markmaking, and gesture will be explored along with the relationship between the intuitive and rational aspects of drawing and seeing. Prerequisite: Drawing 1 or permission of instructor / 3 credits.

ADVANCED PROJECTS: DRAWING
ART 250-95, Monday 9:30-1:00

Students will work with close observation and staged processes to achieve a high level of representation in both black and white and colored drawing media on a variety of surfaces. A special emphasis will be on the underlying principles of form comprehension, proportion, perspective and schema that inform a clarity of vision. We will explore a variety of subjects and scale and draw from both direct observation and photographic sources. Still-life, landscape, portraiture and botanical subjects will inform an investigation of an array of textures and surfaces. Sharpen up, slow down, and open up your vision to the spectacular close at hand. Prerequisite: Drawing 1 or permission of instructor /3 credits; may be repeated once for credit; 6 credit maximum.

PAINTING I
ART 103-97, Monday 1:30-5:00

This painting course will provide the opportunity for students to gain strengths in both painting and drawing. As drawing is contained within the processes of painting, this interrelationship will be at the forefront of our investigations. Color, with it's potential for great description and expression, will be a focus as we move through objective and subjective approaches. Materials, processes, and techniques will be presented in a way to help students develop an approach that facilitates both observation and expression. Prerequisite: None / 3 credits.

ADVANCED PAINTING
ART 228-96, Monay 1:30-5:00

This course will concentrate on the development of the students understanding of processes and approaches to the discipline of painting. General issues of painting, and material and procedural strategies will be a focus of concentration. These issues will be investigated through a series of assignments- some given, and some self guided. The curriculum will continue the general development of a student's expertise—technically, formally, conceptually, and professionally—in the field of painting. Prerequisite: ART103 or permission of instructor/ 3 credits; may be repeated once for credit; 6 credit maximum.

PAINTING I
ART 103-95, Tuesday 1:30-5:00

This class is about painting in oil. Though it is designed for those who have very little painting experience, it will be useful to any student interested in the study of the depiction of space through color and value. Working from both still life set ups and from the model, students will be introduced to color theory and the importance of tonal value in visual experience. We will consider the question:  what makes a painting alive? Instruction in the use of various painting materials will be available in the case of individual questions about these.  The intention of the class is to provide students with expressive tools which they can then use to amplify their own ideas.  Prerequisite: None / 3 credits.

ART AND HOW IT GOT THAT WAY
HUM 102-95
Tuesday 9:30-12:30

This course will consist of reading and writing about fine art. It is intended for artists, art students, collectors and anyone for whom an interaction with a work of art has meaning. The class will concern itself with the following: from what aspects of human experience has art arisen? What, (if anything), does it do? What role is it playing in the post-industrial west? The format of the class will be the discussion of student writing and assigned texts; texts will consist of essays, philosophy, and critical opinion rather than art history. Though the course might contribute to a theoretical bulwark for anyone practicing an art, the goal will be to develop a practice of writing and discussion through creative inquiry, rather than seeking definitive answers. Works of art from PAAM’s permanent collection and work on exhibit will be used to illustrate stylistic movements in 20th century art. Prerequisite: None / 3 credits
