Introduction Observational Painting (PAI-0005)

Fall 2023 · PAI 0005 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

Our emphasis will be on basic skills in observational painting. Still life and the figure will provide the subject matter for observing light, form, color and space. We will explore the power and energy of composition and investigate the many painterly properties of oil paint. Through slide presentations and visits to local museums and galleries, you will extend your knowledge of historical and contemporary art based on observation. Non-SMFA students will receive a letter grade.
