Description: Considers the various ways in which actions, processes, and materials can shape a painting practice. Covers a range of painterly actions and a self-generated list of ‘paint-related’ verbs (to roll, to smudge, to scrape). Students will create a ‘catalogue’ of marks and manipulations of paint. They will then develop these ideas through a studio practice which explores abstraction, materiality, and considerations of form. A broad range of traditional, modern and expanded paint properties and mediums will be considered.
