                                    DESCRIPTION
                                    
                                        In this advanced studio course, students will be working to obtain a sense of professionalism and excellence in painting.  Students will be asked to work with ideas in painting that relate to both figuration and abstraction in order to better understand current contemporary artistic practices.  Through rigorous study both in the studio and outside the classroom students will complete project-based works involving conceptual and visual stages that lead to resolved pieces.  In addition, students will be asked to consider how painting relates to conceptual works in installation and/or assemblage.
