Intro to painting is a problem solving course dealing with the use of composition, color, texture, form and value through still life, landscape, portrait and figure paintings. This is an introductory course that covers basic painting techniques with an emphasis on classic and contemporary applications of paint; students will explore and experience a variety of painting techniques, media, and historical approaches to art. This course is designed for students that have no prior experience with paint, as well as students with limited painting skills. This course will summarize the history of painting and analyze the many different art movements, treatments and characteristics of the different painting styles. Students will learn how to mix paint, by combining different colors as well as creating different tints, tones and shades of colors (adding white, grey or black to a color). Students will learn the process of under painting with washes and slowly building up the paint in layers to create a finished painting. Students will investigate many different painting movements and styles, learning the unique characteristics of each style and be able to classify paintings upon viewing. At the end of this course students will have a strong foundation of painting, color theory, techniques and knowledge of painting styles and genres. This is designed as a semester long studio course that will be taught every other day for a total of 45 days. Each class period will be 42 minutes long; each project should be between 4-5 weeks in duration with a total of 14 – 17 class to complete any given project. Smaller projects using a 5 x 7 canvas will take less time 2 – 3 weeks. Students should start each project with thumbnail sketches to help generate ideas. The sketching process should only take maximum 1 class period and prepare students to problem solve before they start to work on the final product. 3 21st Century Life and Careers In today's global economy, students need to be lifelong learners who have the knowledge and skills to adapt to an evolving workplace and world.
