Description
In these times, political, economic, environmental and social upheaval, this course offers a reappraisal of political painting. We consider ways in which political subjects are represented in painting, the history of political painting and its recent resurgence as subject matter in art.
This is a mostly practical course and is for anyone who is interested in political painting and or wants to develop paintings with political subject matter. We will develop new ways to interpret the political through collage, mark making, different painting techniques, text, landscape and figuration.
