Course Description | Medieval to Contemporary Painting Techniques explores the fundamental properties of paint materials by studying the paint-making techniques used by old masters of the late Medieval and Renaissance periods up through the contemporary era. Through hands-on work and experimentation, including preparing paint materials themselves, students will gain experience making and working with egg tempera, oil paint, and synthetic materials such as acrylics. They will develop a stronger understanding of how these materials function and how their uses fit into historical traditions and cultural contexts. Students will participate in weekly material and technique-building workshops. They will be given select open-ended assignments for which they can choose a particular approach to explore. Students will learn how to handle traditional and contemporary materials in compliance with high material safety standards. |
