Summer Courses
On-Site Painting
Credit hours: 3--Contact hours: 90
Course # 22-2219 SR
Dept: Art and Design
Course Description: This course introduces beginning
and advanced students to the formal and technical issues of on-site
painting. Students will learn to accurately and creatively render from
life. The class will address the challenges and benefits posed from
working on-site. Taking advantage of the city of Florence and its environs
students will work primarily on location in museums, gardens and other
historic locations of interest to the instructor and students. For practical
reasons students will be encouraged to use only water based colors though
more advanced students may choose to further develop work done on location
in other medium outside of class time.
