STUA 014. Painting I - The Landscape
This course explores the vast array of interpretive approaches, and practical methods available to the artist interested in landscape painting. Each student will be introduced to methods and techniques that will be used in the field while painting directly from nature. Topics include atmospheric perspective, linear perspective, viewpoint, compositional structuring through shape and rhythm, and a thorough study of light through changing effects of color and tonality. Excursions into the urban, suburban, and rural landscape of southeastern Pennsylvania will be scheduled weekly. Oil paints will be the central medium of the class.
