History of Painting Techniques & Materials: In-Person
Alexandra Evans | Fall | Sundays: Sept 17 - Dec 10
Class Description:
Gain confidence in different materials and painting techniques in order to expand one’s technical repertoire.
In this class we will explore painting materials and techniques from prehistoric airbrush methods to hot wax encaustic painting, gilding, traditional egg tempera painting, Renaissance blending, and more. Through the structure of Art Historical lectures and demonstrations, students will complete a series of self-portraits using specific materials and supports in keeping with the genre and time-period that is covered each week. This class is intended to create a space that allows for play and exploration of materials that can then be translated into one’s own contemporary art-making process.
