The Foundations of Art V, PAINTING: Portraying Ideas
(This is an advanced oil painting class ; eligible students have mastered a minimum of Foundations I & II OR have a traditional portfolio from a studio with possibly similar standards).
Students will continue to reach for improving painting skills having instruction in color theory, effective palettes and mixing, technique, use of light and shadow, preparing various surfaces for painting, all while enjoying the process of creating something lovely for the home.
Review & New: Evaluation of the contemporary ‘Art World’ reminds us of the challenge for Christians to produce uplifting art that is practical, satisfying and good for the soul, worthy of hanging on our walls. Wary of the deceptive Age that seeks to manipulate, we will hold to our Creator as The Interpreter of Total Reality, of what is beautiful, good and true.
