CRASH OILSRISD Wintersession 2005

This is an intensive crash course in the basics of oil painting, grounds,supports, mediums, techniques and processes. Students will paint inand out of the studio exploring still life, figure, self-portrait,

imagination, and abstract oil painting, all the while learning through

doing a lot of the things one needs to know to be self sufficient whenusing oils. Color, value, and composition will be taken in to account,as will the thoughts and themes the paintings are coming from. We

will work with oils on canvas, panel, and paper, discovering the

nuance and specificity of each ground. Students that take this class

will be open to the wide range of possibilities offered by this time

tested and contemporarily re-invigorated medium. We will discusscontemporary artists working in the medium and compare their

motives to that of painters of the past. We will read some critical textsthat have influenced the history of painting in the last century. The

course will offer a fast paced but solid grounding in both painting and

drawing so as to familiarize the student to using oil in the studio as a

mode of making.
