Painting

Drawing is the foundation to learning, mastering and exploring all works of art. This means, drawing is a necessity. It is understood that drawing is done in tones of gray. When color is introduced, the result is called painting. Painting is integrated within various drawing assignments and also taught separately. Students will  paint various projects not only from memory, but also realistically, from observation, and expressively. This class allows the students time to develop and refine their acquired art skills and knowledge previously learned in Foundations of Art and Drawing. Active art research is used to engage the students using a variety of technologies. Various art styles, periods and artists will be introduced with the corresponding assignments. Assignments may include painting with ink, watercolors, acrylics, and oil paints. This course satisfies the PA Arts and Humanities Standards. This is a half year class. This course is a prerequisite for Portfolio.
