SummaryTHIS IS A FOR-CREDIT ONLY COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED.

This course will introduce ways which students can develop artworks beyond paint alone and to introduce the use of mixed media to create images which explore not just colour and shape but also surface and texture. Students will be encouraged to experiment, perhaps moving beyond a two-dimensional surface, finding the boundaries between painting and sculpture. The emphasis will be discovery and experimentation.
