12 Painting

12 Painting

In Painting, you will explore a range of approaches to deepen your understanding of painting techniques and conventions and help you develop your ability to both experiment with pictorial conventions and to communicate visual ideas effectively in the art you create. You will be encouraged to develop your own personal artistic journey by working through a topic of your interest, guided by the analysis of selected artist models.

In Q2 you will start developing your own artistic practice, generating visual ideas on a theme and producing an informed series of works. The core standards attached to this class are two internal standards - relating to practical knowledge and ideational development, respectively - along with a significant folio of work that is assessed externally, worth 12 credits. There is flexibility to increase or decrease the standards assessed according to your needs and capabilities.

It is preferred that you have taken Art at Q1, however with the commitment of extra time and effort, it is possible to pick up the class without this. This will depend on your personal motivation to pursue Senior Art Design and must be approved by Mic.
