Section Info:
Topic: Experimental Materials in Painting. This course will focus on the use of alternative materials and experimental techniques in painting. Students will explore traditional art materials combined with modeled forms, reliefs, cut-outs, collaged elements, and found objects. We will discuss artists with a history of innovative and non-conventional approaches to art, including vernacular art by self-taught artists working outside of traditional art movements and genres. Popular culture will also be a sphere of inquiry, where we will discuss and explore such expressions as tattoos, sideshow banners, alters, religious ritual, and advertising. Other topics might include comix, graffiti, public murals and the use of distorted and grotesque figuration in painting. Through observation and examination of cultures, and the use of materials in new ways, we educate their eye and learn to make visual associations that yield content and encourage further investigation. For Chancellor's Scholars; others may enroll with the approval of the instructor and the Campus Honors Program.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to Chancellor's Scholar-CHPHonors students.
