This practical art-making course is a continuation of the insights presented by Philip Armstrong, Laura Lisbon and Stephen Melville in their 2001 exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts, "As Painting: Division and Displacement." Students will explore non-traditional materials and techniques to make works that question the boundaries of painting and attempt to re-imagine its possibilities. As well as discussions of each student's paintings, this course will include reading and discussion of pertinent texts and exhibitions in town. The primary goal is to produce a body of paintings in response to class activities and personal studio practice. Note: This course is open to all students.
