Watercolor Painting
Students in the Watercolor Painting program are trained in the necessary
tools and techniques to create works for exhibition, sale or reproduction.
Students learn to select the appropriate content, format and materials
to meet the objectives of an audience or client. They apply concepts such
as color theory and light and shadow to create works that convey a sense
of atmosphere, mood or drama.
Students are expected to define an aesthetic philosophy that guides
the
development of their work as they assemble a professional portfolio.
