A two-term sequence offering a contemporary view of painting through the exploration of various media, subject matter, and conceptual approaches. Research, idea generation, and production will be emphasized. Art 490/590: Students begin to develop an independent body of work within a historical and theoretical context. This course concentrates on working methods of research and execution through closely guided assistance.

Courses must be taken in sequence. Open to non-majors who have prerequisites and consent of the instructor.
