1 1 of 6 9/13/ :02 AM The Professional Institute for Educators ED*7611C*01 Megan McManus, mmcmanus@uarts.edu Course Description This studio painting course provides the opportunity to refine color theory and design concepts using oil and/or acrylic paints. In addition to applying color juxtaposition theory by Joseph Albers, examine the principles and elements of great composition to describe, emote and influence the human psyche. Concept and message predict how line, shape, pattern and rhythm perform. This course focuses on painting from direct observation with class critiques and can be applied in the classroom. Beginners and experienced artists are equally welcome. Course Objective Course Objective COURSE OBJECTIVES: The goals of this studio class are to learn the techniques and vocabulary of Painting and Color Theory while improving observational and visual communication skills. This is a very rigorous course that will include homework. Whether you are or become an abstract, realist, or surrealist painter, a graffiti, skateboard genre, or comic book artist, the techniques you learn in this class will contribute to your work. The painting technique I teach and use in my studio practice falls under the blanket term, traditional painting, (a.k.a. the Western European painting technique practiced during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.) You will learn how to build up the layers of a painting starting with value and eventually color and glazing. Basic Color Theory Concepts will be covered with hands-on color grid exercises.
