Painting Class Update
We have finished our black, white and gray paintings and have begun working on our earth colored still lives. If you were absent, try to catch up on your own by using your own potatoes, onions, mushrooms and bread. Bring to class so you can recreate your own still life for next week.
Remember to bring in your own supplies. Many students are still borrowing things.

Painting Syllabus
Painting—AR261/262/263—Spring 2008
Professor Julia Healy
Introduction: This course will explores painting at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. Students will be divided into groups and will work on assignments or continue pursuing their individual directions. Some basic instruction on learning “to see” will be given to beginners, as necessary. If you are an intermediate or advanced student, you should bring in examples of previous work, as well as ideas you wish to work on. It is always best to work from real life, but you may work from your own photographs. Do not work from reproductions, calendars or magazine illustrations if at all possible.
Attendance and Lateness: Attendance is mandatory. There is no substitute for working and participating in class. Three absences are grounds for a failing grade.
Please be on time. Class begins promptly at 6 p.m. Two tardies will be counted as one absence. If you will have an ongoing scheduling conflict, please discuss it with me at the beginning of the semester.
Grading: Individual grades will be given for each painting and averaged to make up 90% of your grade. Class participation will count for another 10%.
Supplies: Materials and supplies for this class are expensive, but there is no overpriced textbook to buy! We will discuss how to approach buying the materials the first class. You must come prepared to work every week, with all the materials you need. Do not expect other students to lend you paint, brushes and canvases!!!
