In this intermediate painting studio course, students will conduct individually based research in order to gain a full understanding of painting and will be asked to reflect on the broader implications of the medium itself.

In addition theory will also be emphasized as a means to create a body of work that addresses students' critical concerns inherent to their art practice and overall process.
