Painting II
ARST 440 SP

This course presents a discussion of varying formal and conceptual approaches to visual imagery and issues in contemporary painting. Emphasis on color, composition and paint manipulation continues toward the development of a personal vision. Class work includes further work from observation as well as projects initiated by the students, individual and group critiques, and museum and gallery trips.
