Introduction: This course will further your exploration
of painting. Students will continue to develop their skills using
form, tone, color and composition. Subject matter will include a focus on personal
choice including the still life, the landscape and/or portraiture.
Attendance and Lateness: Attendance is mandatory and
essential to your performance. 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 2:10 p.m. Two tardies can be counted as one absence. If
you will have an ongoing scheduling conflict, please discuss it with me at the
beginning of the semester. Note that
parking is always an issue, so allow time to find a space or take public
transportation.
Make-Up Policy: As a student in this course, it is your responsibility to make certain you obtain information covered, should you miss a session. This syllabus and our blog have the information you need to know as to what we are working on and when it is due. Previously-absent students must come to the following class with all of the appropriate work finished for that class.

Grading: Individual grades will be given for each of your
paintings and averaged to make up 75% of your grade. Written
reflections will count as 10)%, Class participation/attendance will count as 10%,
preparation counts as 5%. Two unexcused absences will lower your grade
by one letter grade. (From a B to a C, for, instance.)

"ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:
As stated
in the current college catalog, any student who needs specific accommodations
based on the impact of a disability should register with the office of Services
for Students with Disabilities (SSD) to be eligible for accommodations, which
are determined on an individual basis. The SSD office is located in the Science
Building, room S-132 (718-631-6257). Students should also contact their
instructor privately to discuss their specific needs."
Supplies
I use Dick Blick or
Utrecht (online). Michael’s is expensive, except for when canvases are on sale
or there are special deals.
Apron
or old shirt to use as smock. You will ruin your clothes otherwise!
Container
for paints such as a large shoebox, tackle box or canvas tote.
A
glass jar or two with a lid for turpenoid. Label with your name.
Soft
pencil 4B and eraser (optional)
Scissors
(optional)
RAGS: LOTS OF THEM! OLD
COTTON BEDSHEETS RIPPED UP, OLD WHITE T-SHIRTS, ETC. NOTHING WITH A NAP, LIKE A
TOWEL.
Turpenoid
in the BLUE AND WHITE container (not
the green one)
Master’s
Brush Cleaner
Brushes:
DON’T BUY CHEAP SETS…THEY ARE USUALLY
A RIP-OFF. Get soft, sable or sableline, Wonder Whites (from Blick),
not the stiff hogs-hair kind. Those are harder to control and clean. If you
take care of your brushes, they will last a long time.
Minimum
Brushes Needed:
BRIGHT
SOFT (not bristly) BRUSHES: Choose at least 6 brushes (smalls (0, 1, 2, 4),
mediums (6, 8, 10, 12), bigger ones (14, 16, 20, 24)
At
least 1 ROUND brush smallish (0, 1, 2)
Optional
Brushes: filberts, flats, a fan brush
Palette
knife
Palette—Palette
paper tear-off pads are fine (12” x 16”gives you enough mixing room)
Paint
Oil
is preferable for beginners. If you have to use acrylic, see me. I use Gamblin
Paints, but Windsor and Newton, Utrecht, and Grumbacher are also good. The best
student grade oil paint is WINTON.
