Painting 101-201 (JUL 13 - AUG 3)
Class meets every Sunday from 1:30PM to 5PM.
Perfect for beginners who are just learning to paint and those who wish to deepen their knowledge. We will be exploring a range of pictorial subjects such as still life, figure, landscape, and master paintings.
In this course, participants will learn the role of decision-making in the painting process while improving their understanding of foundations. Our primary focus will be on plasticity and color resonance which will equip students to critically approach their own work and successfully navigate the dilemma between one's outer and inner worlds in the process of painting. Over the span of 4 meetings, participants will learn how to paint from perception and make abstract decisions based on the needs of the composition. Art history will be supplemented into discussions and critiques.
JPA To-Go Policy: In person classes can now be substituted for 30 minute virtual meetings at alternative times and with personalized projects. If you know you will miss a class or live outside of St. Louis but still want to work with us, please give at least two weeks notice via email before the date of the class that will be missed. This is only available for our regular drawing and painting courses.
Please note that the following supplies offer options for oil, acrylic, or gouache. So, please read carefully and reach out if you have any questions.
