ARTS-29904 Abstraction: Intermediate Painting Abstraction: Intermediate Painting is an intermediate hybrid studio art/seminar style class. As a class we will examine texts and other cultural artifacts producted around artists and their works, and students will consider the performative connotations of abstraction. Particular attention will be paid to the ways paint - a fluid and visceral substance - came to evoke the artists body and self in the wake of Abstract Expressionism. Students will respond to this research with studio projects throughout the semester, culminating in self-directed final project.
