NCARTCC092 — Painting Palooza
This course is designed to introduce students to the basic concepts of painting and drawing. Learn ways of using different techniques, acrylic and watercolor, plus learn and experiment with pastels. Students study color theory and main principles of color mixing - transparency and opacity value, intensity, saturation, contrast and hue. With this knowledge, they can begin to mix colors intuitively again. Students study different styles, from realism to abstract and other contemporary art. They will learn about these styles and create and experiment with different approaches. To combine realism and abstraction is to get greater content in artwork. Students are encouraged to develop their own "voice" through art classes. Students learn the fundamentals of art by learning to look at the world around them and how to see lines, dots, circles, and geometry of nature.
