This new course offering, Painting the City, considers the urban setting as a canvas for everyday life: a space of people-watching and voyeurism, of architectural survey and salvage, a crossroads of history, commerce and culture, but above all an endless resource of surprising, often humanizing, visual discovery. Through a study of historical and contemporary artists' visions of Venice, Paris, New York, Rome, Los Angeles, London and others, we will explore and then implement strategies for reconsidering our own urban worlds as source material for painting. Class exercises and projects will be supplemented with visual presentations, readings, videos and critical feedback. Previous painting experience recommended. WEDNESDAYS, JAN 8 - APR 2, 6PM-9PM ONLINE
