Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course provides directed research and critical analysis of painting while emphasizing increasingly more complex concepts, themes, and subject matter. Students are encouraged to pursue individual approaches through a combination of historical and contemporary styles. Also covered are techniques and processes necessary to complete a cohesive body of artwork that integrates research, methodology, and invention, and reflects a unified, self-directed visual theme.
