Students will work in watercolors, acrylics, and oil paint as they explore the process of creating paintings from sketch to finish . In addition to developing their technical skills, students will be challenged to think critically and creatively about their own work and the work of their peers. They will be expected to participate actively in class critiques and discussions.
