Visual art is an important tool for communication both in public and personal contexts. Making art as well as learning to interpret both historical and contemporary art teaches students to be more visually aware, and gives them a richer understanding of visual media in both fine arts and contemporary culture. Watercolor painting is a visual art medium that has an historical presence in world art, while continuing to play a role in contemporary painting and drawing and in popular culture. This course provides students with a hands-on experience in studio art, beyond the classroom activities in the form of arts, lectures and gallery experiences, and exposure to knowledge and skills important for both creating visual pieces and for understanding how visual art, specifically painting communicates. In this course, students learn both traditional and experimental watercolor technique and processes and explore ways to combine the formal visual elements of their work with the content. Importantly, these experiences will help to increase awareness and understanding of visual art in contemporary culture, while empowering students to investigate different and creative means of expression.
