Course Description

Artwork by Grace F.

Painting is physical expressions of ideas through the use of materials like acrylic, watercolor and oil paint. Software like Photoshop and Procreate allows artists and designers to create in digital space while replicating the effects of traditional materials. Investigate ways that this digital medium can augment expressive mark making, value and form. Course prompts and exercises encourage experimentation while expanding on the building blocks of digital art. *This course requires a drawing tablet.

Notes

This course is an intensive exploration of the fundamentals of making art with the tools of digital drawing and painting. For each assignment, you’ll use intuition, close observation skills, imagination, and what's meaningful to you. Class meetings offer room to share your experiences with each project.

Example Assignment
As part of an exercise in order and chaos, you will create both mask and landscape paintings inspired by Rorschach ink blots. Join the real world with the digital by scanning watercolor and ink splotches to your computer. Then, render expressive details by using unique digital tools.
