Painting: Conceptual Painting - Exploring Color & Composition/Level 3 -4
Instructor: Garth GlazierConceptual Painting is for representational and abstract painters who want to push
further into self-expression using color and composition while working on their own
projects. If you have ever felt that your work could be more expressive of a feeling,
an idea, or a moment, this course is for you. We will analyze the role of reference
in building a painting and the art of seeing the visual designs hidden within an image.
We will explore using color harmonies, color temperature, value, shape, rhythm, and
composition to bring that design to the forefront. We will also explore how starting a
painting with a core concept can transform the artist’s approach to a subject by first
asking what we want a painting to be about. Students are encouraged to select their
own subjects for painting with input from the instructor as needed. Acrylic, oil,
watercolor, transparent inks, color pencil, and pastel media are welcome.

Level 3 & 4
