Landscape Painting

EPT201 | Elective | WED + THURS | 2Pm-5pm

Instructor

Francis Livingston

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Landscape painting encompasses plein air painting, on-site sketching, and studio painting with the use of photography. Allows the student to learn color and composition, abstraction, value and more by observing nature. With an emphasis on oil painting, this is also an opportunity to explore other media as well. Copious image presentations and demonstrations provide students with an aesthetic understanding of all aspects of picture making, extending throughout their learning experience at TAD.

Learning Objectives

Landscape painting develops a better understanding of color, composition, textures, mood, and abstraction through the direct observation of nature.

Learning Outcomes

Concurrent with observation, one is developing better facilitation of materials. Since one cannot rely on the usual symbols inherent in the human figure, one must create a new visual metaphor in order to effectively convey the light and form of the landscape.

Course Requirements

Students will be issued a syllabus that will list the goals, projected outcomes, grading system, and any other resources the instructor deems necessary.
