Painting

Learning Objectives

The objective of the second-level course in Painting is to provide specific training in the specific codes of the language of painting, together with multidisciplinary preparation in the field of art, with particular reference to the theory, knowledge, practice and languages of contemporary art. The central theme around which the entire training activity revolves, is the development of the creative process, understood both in its methodological and design dimensions and in its more strictly operational aspects.
