This is an introductory course in the fundamentals of painting incorporating color theory, design, application techniques, composition, and overall technique. Activities that reinforce these elements will be used throughout the course. Beginning as well as more advanced students should take this course either as an extension in further understanding color after Drawing I or as a precursor to Painting II. Instruction and demonstration will precede each painting activity. Painting media will include acrylic and watercolor and occasional demonstrations of oils or other media to broaden the student’s overall understanding of painting. Specific subjects will be assigned for each project. Students may opt to take this course for Dual Enrollment and earn transferable LCCC credits. As a CP level, dual-credit course, this class will receive Honors (4.5) weight in your GPA, adhering to Pennsylvania Department of Education’s guidelines.
