ART 351 Abstract Painting

This course explores the fundamental principles of abstraction and examines the way artists interpret their visual experiences. A strong emphasis on color, composition, alignment, texture and shape relationships is emphasized. This class familiarizes students with the ways and means of abstract art and encourages each individual to approach abstraction in a way sympathetic to his or her state of consciousness. Students are encouraged to consider their identity, ethnicity, preference to subject matter and awareness of self. The class addresses different approaches to abstract painting in regard to technique, theory and history.
