| EXPLORATIONS IN OIL & ACRYLIC PAINTING (C) Stephen Curry This course is for oil and acrylic painters of all levels. In this class, students will explore a variety of traditions, techniques and styles of painting. Working from the still-life, photos or subject matter of the student’s choice, even examples of paintings by Masters from art history, each 7-week session, students will experiment with a different movement from the history of painting. The student will gain hands-on understanding of terms like indirect and direct painting methods, chiaroscuro, grisaille, divisionism, pop art, and neo-expressionism.

| PAINTING EN PLEIN AIR Marjorie Taylor Working in oils, students will be given an opportunity to paint "en plein air" (in the open air.) We will meet each week at a different location, where students will learn how to quickly compose and capture a scene in oil. In addition to the basics of how to equip oneself and set up on location, there will be an emphasis on composition, value, color, edges, and perspective. This course will also encourage students to think about creating a focal point and atmosphere in their plein air paintings. Previous experience painting in oils is encouraged.
