Oil Painting I (value theory and value exercises):
This class will introduce students to the basic fundamental principles of oil painting. Students will become familiar with the medium of oil, canvases, panels and paint brushes. They will also learn how to use and care for their utensils. In this class students work primarily in value (white, black and a touch of raw umber). They will create value charts, paint geometric forms and grisaille paintings. A grisaille painting is what is commonly called an underpainting.
Students will create both anacrhomatic and monochromatic paintings. The principles of light, value, form, proportion, perspective and composition will be observed. Once the student artist demonstrates a working understanding and successfully completes assigned anachromatic and monochratic oil paintings, they will be ready for Oil Painting II.
