Throughout the semester, students engage in weekly open paintings. The subject of these works may be in addition to what has been inspired with in-class assignments, or the discovery of a new painting application, medium or substrate.
In this way, students gain ownership of their works having completed them from the early concept through to finish finished paintings, outside of the project requirements. I conference with students independently, discussing the qualities and potentials of each work on a bi-weekly basis. This way, students become informed by other student practices as well as see the development of their own evolution through the term.
