COURSE DESCRIPTION

GART 1B44
Narrative Strategies: Painting to Film
0.50 Credit(s)
Studio
Prerequisite: Students must have completed a minimum of 1.0 credit of First-year studio curriculum.
Narrative is key to contemporary visual practice as the unfolding of stories, the exploration of events, histories, ideas, and memories.

Key to contemporary visual practice is the examination and exploration of narrative expectations, and how they can be translated into different media. This course investigates the visual material of narrative film through the medium of painting. Students in this course will explore how a painting could be translated into a film, and how a story can be told using color, light and composition. Without an initial script, students create the visual world of a story, while learning basic techniques for setting this vision in motion. Group and individual assignments develop students' understanding of narrative and its influence on contemporary art practice.
