Using Acrylic paint, you will explore the fundamental elements of painting (Color, Form, Value, and Line) and develop your own personal style and creative voice. You will be encouraged to explore styles and subject matters which excite and inspire you. You’ll learn to engage in constructive critique of your work, the work of your fellow classmates, and to think critically about your creative process.
