ESAC: Cold Wax

This course introduces students to cold wax, through explaining its relationship to encaustic and its use as a medium throughout art history. Through hands-on mixing of colour and application, students also learn fundamentals of critical thinking regarding abstract painting. Students will use oil paint, solvents, scrapers, brushes, mixed media and mark making tools to gain an understanding of the medium. Issues of color, contrast and composition along with shape, pattern, texture, mass and depth will be addressed through discussions on creating abstract landscapes as well as non-representational abstractions in addition to touching on the use of cold wax in representational work.
