ART 520 - Watercolor

Credits: 3
Note MLA: Creative Process / Fine Arts
In this course, students will learn basic watercolor techniques through several studies from observation, each first demonstrated by the instructor: quick studies, still life, portrait, and landscape. Watercolor is considered a suitable medium for beginning painters, and yet it is also one of the most versatile media, and can be used for creating very advanced artwork. Because drawing is an integral part of watercolor, this course will also help students develop drawing skills. Home assignments and a free composition will encourage students’ individuality and creativity. In-class discussions and critique sessions will help students develop the ability to judge artwork objectively.
