Art 220 is an intensive course of study in the classical techniques of drawing and painting. Cast drawing, portraiture and figure painting will be the focus of instruction. The Windward Atelier is designed primarily for those students who have some prior studio experience in drawing; however, students of all skill levels are welcome.
Course Outcomes

- Execute the painting processes, from preliminary drawings and canvas preparation to the completion of a painting, including the proper use and care of the painter’s studio implements.
- Discuss and critique work based on classical drawing and painting concepts and techniques.
