Painting: Urban Landscapes 2
10 Week Class | This course is completed
This is an intermediate level painting class in which students will build on and expand the skills learned in Urban Landscape 1, allowing them to explore the development and execution of a body of work reflecting their personal relationship with urban space.
Working from sketches and their own photographic reference, students will continue to practice solving problems of space, viewpoint and perspective, light and form, and use of colour, while developing their own voice through an exploration of colour strategies, mark making, composition, and subject matter. This course will emphasize painting time while incorporating lectures, demonstrations and critiques, and can be taken multiple times as students continue to develop their painting practice.Base Tuition: $475 + Material Fee: $10 = $485 Total__________________________________________________________________________________
