Painting II
ARST 340
Fall 2024
Section: 01  

In this class, students will develop an artistic vision and studio practice while exploring open-ended prompts and engaging in conversations that unpack approaches and methods toward achieving artistic goals. Each individual will work uniquely in both approach and technique in order to become fluent and make conceptual and aesthetic choices that will best convey their singular creative concerns. All prompts and concerns addressed in this course allow for any formal, conceptual, or stylistic method of expression to solve them. The knowledge and skills gained in ARST239 will serve as the foundation for a deeper inquiry into how formal decisions about process inevitably impact expression and the reading of artworks. While analyzing differing approaches to solving the same problem, students will discover how their own practice can transform their relationship with others and the world. Lectures and discussions will provide information and feedback on historical and contemporary issues, project proposals, goals for the work with respect to identifying an ideal audience, and the development of an artist's vision and statement.
