OVERVIEW
DRAWING AND
PAINTING PROGRAM
Increase your working knowledge of the visual language
of art through discussion of various periods of art and artists. Increase
your "hands-on" knowledge of artistic techniques. Learn to apply critical
visual judgement to your own work. Understand how your own individual
creative and visual decisions are influenced by our collective visual
history. Learn to use the power of a visual image to communicate an idea,
concept or emotion.
|
| The Painting/Drawing Program offers students
the opportunity to focus on both the formal and intellectual aspects of
art making. Formal guidelines for 2-dimensional art, many of which were
first articulated during the Renaissance, provide the basis on which drawing
and painting classes are taught. Students will learn about perspective,
spatial relationships, value, proportion, color, line, texture, shape, etc.
Equal emphasis is placed on contemporary art issues and ideas which challenge
students to find their own artistic voice. |
| As Santa Reparata generally has a variety of
students with various levels of art experience, classes are based on individualized
instruction. This is combined with group discussions, use of a wide variety
of visual examples, reading assignments, guest speakers and visits to gallery
and museum shows. |
| With a focus on learning the basic aspects
of observational drawing, students will be encouraged to learn the skills
needed to realistically render and draw objects in space. Renaissance systems
of one point, multi-point and atmospheric perspective, along with chiaroscuro
drawing are explored. Emphasis will be placed on the formal aspects of 2-dimensional
representation such as line, tonality, shape, rhythm, balance, composition,
space and proportion. Projects begin with basic drawing skills and expand
into more personal forms of expression including large scale drawings.
