Painting is designed for students who are eager to learn and strengthen the fundamentals of painting using tempera and acrylic media. Students will develop technical skills and artistic confidence while exploring key concepts such as value, color mixing, proportion, and composition.

Through hands-on projects, students will apply painting techniques to a variety of subjects, including landscapes, portraits, and abstract compositions. Instruction includes methods for planning and transferring images, such as the grid method and transfer techniques, to support accuracy and design development. Emphasis is placed on experimentation, creative expression, and the painting process.

This course provides a strong foundation in painting while encouraging students to explore different styles and techniques.
