ART380 Plein Air Painting Description: Nantucket Light 08 will be an intensive, in-depth painting experience that will use the Plein Air painting approach as a jumping-off point to the summer landscape. Initially we will look at the techniques of its inventor, Corot, and his circle. Our investigation will move quickly to contemporary approaches and attitudes. Investigating landscape in broad interpretation will be encouraged; from the macro to the micro, fauna, flora and wildlife could become subjects. Also, use of the camera and working from photographs will be explored. Slide shows, demonstrations, one-on-one meetings, and group critiques, as well as working outside and in the studio, will comprise our activity. Come energized and prepared to get a lot of painting done! During their stay, students will be housed at Gouin Village, a complex close to the shops and restaurants of historic downtown Nantucket. Classes will be held at one of the Nantucket Artists Association studios in town. Click here to learn more about this course and how to register.
