Course outline

What is the course about?

Developing directions in painting through a structure that enables independent enquiry whilst building on your previous experience.

What topics will we cover?

The course will explore the following areas through projects that seek to initiate rather than prescribe:
- composition and tone
- techniques and process
- conceptual development
- codes and language.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

- formulate ideas in painting
- understand how painting can be positioned within an art practice
- develop a critical awareness of language in painting
- create a basis for sustaining independent enquiry in painting.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

It is recommended that students have completed 'Painting 1' and 'Painting continued' or have gained equivalent experience.

You should be able to follow simple written and verbal instructions,demonstrations, hand-outs and health and safety information, and will be invited to take part in group discussion.

Please look at the rest of the course outline carefully to decide if you may benefit from support in your English and Maths skills to help you to take part fully in this class.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Project briefs, handouts, presentations, practical work, individual and group tutoring, and group discussion.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

No.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?

Please complete the evaluation form at the end of your course. These are monitored and help us to continually improve our courses.
