The unit explores the rich history and practice of abstraction and the broad range of approaches to painting produced under the term 'non-objective'. The unit provides students with an in-depth engagement with a variety of non-objective painting processes as well as the theories informing their creation such as the recurring declaration of painting's demise. Students achieve a level of technical and conceptual sophistication as well as a consideration of their works in the context of contemporary visual art. -- Course Website
