Course Detail: PER442 - Elements of Painting: Introduction
Have you ever looked at a painting and it just drew you in? Do you have any idea why that is? Most likely it is because the artist not only brought their emotion to it, but also had the understanding of all the elements that make a painting work.
A successful painting needs a foundation in place, just as a home can not stand up without the underlying structure to support it. You can't just hang a window in space, it needs the proper framework just as a work of art needs a foundation and a clear understanding of the elements to hold it together.
The six basic elements for successful oil paintings include drawing, design, value, color, edges, and mark making. Join us for a fun and informative six weeks of introduction to each of these elements, which will eventually help structure your own painting, wherever you are in your artistic journey.
We will be working in oils for this intro class. Lectures, studio assignments, and field trips will be part of the curriculum as we explore what makes a painting great.
This class is open to anyone, at any level, that would like to learn more about the elements of painting. Join us for this fun and informative class!
