COURSE DESCRIPTION 
This class is a fundamental course exploring the visual arts with a focus on Acrylic Painting.
It will present various fundamental principles; theory and practices related to the creation of acrylic painting, and by way of in-class and homework assignments. Combining theoretical elements and practical experience in the use of this medium, students will explore their own creative talents and get in touch with their own unique voice.

CLASS PROJECTS:
There will be approximately 1 project every week, with lecture/discussion at the beginning of class. At the beginning of class I will have a few small in-class assignments as well. There will be no makeup exams or assignments. That is unless a student has a written medical excuse from a medical provider. If a student does not have a written medical excuse, the student will receive a zero for the missed exam or assignment.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the terminology, tools, and techniques used when creating color in various creative projects.
