Students will be instructed further with more advanced applications, using matte and gloss mediums, in addition to being introduced to gel mediums. There will be more of a focus on color mixing, using a range of primary colors, with both cool and warm hues of each yellow, red and blue. Discussions about color/space, compositional development, and their relationship to the expressive impact of a painting will be ongoing.
