This course involves an exploration of the ways photography, film, and digital visual culture have influenced approaches to painting technically, formally, and conceptually since the invention of photography in the nineteenth century. This studio course is supported by lectures, seminars, and discussion focused on the wide range of ways in which the mediation of visual experience by these technologies has been explored in painting. Higher-level skills, concepts, techniques, and processes are developed in this process. Work health and safety (WHS) instruction is an integral part of this course.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and the skills to:

1. competently utilise a range of higher level painting  skills in response to set projects;
2. independently explore the potential of painting materials applied to photo and digital imagery and processes;
3. experiment with the application of concepts and processes of painting in relation to photo and digital technologies; and
4. critically engage with historical and theoretical contexts of painting's engagement with photo-technologies.

Research-Led Teaching

The course encourages students to research the historical, theoretical and material frameworks that inform contemporary photo-digital painting beyond provided course information.

Additional Course Costs

Students are responsible for the purchase of their own materials in order to complete the course.

A Painting Workshop Fee of $40- is paid as a one-off access fee for any student enrolled in Painting courses. This covers your access to workshop facilities outside of your specific course hours as well as incidentals used during the course. Even if you are enrolled in more than one Painting course in any semester, you only pay this fee once per semester.

Payment can be made here:

http://soad.cass.anu.edu.au/required-resources-and-incidental-fees

Please bring your own protective clothing, such as painting shirts, disposal gloves, cotton rags. You will also need smaller plastic containers with lids such as empty yogurt etc... containers to store unused paint.

Required Resources

Student contribution amounts under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA) and tuition fees support the course described in the Course Outline and include tuition, teaching materials and student access to the workshops for the stated course hours. Students are requested to refer to the School of Art website for information: http://soa.anu.edu.au/required-resources-and-incidental-fees.

MATERIAL FEE

Each workshop sources appropriate specialist materials, which are made available to students to facilitate their working effectively, efficiently and safely within our programs. The School of Art is able to supply materials that don’t compromise ANU obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS), and that have been assessed as suitable for each course.

The Material Fee is payable for the School of Art to supply materials that become your physical property. You can choose to pay the Materials Fee and have these materials supplied to you through the School of Art, allowing you to take advantage of the GST-free bulk purchasing power of the ANU. These materials are also WHS compliant.

Students have the choice of acquiring these materials from a supplier other than the School of Art, however students should note that many materials may not be WHS compliant (and therefore are not approved for use in the workshops), or are not available for individuals to purchase because they must be supplied and stored in a particular way in order to meet WHS regulations.

In rare cases where online submission using Turnitin software is not technically possible; or where not using Turnitin software has been justified by the Course Convener and approved by the Associate Dean (Education) on the basis of the teaching model being employed; students shall submit assessment online via ‘Wattle’ outside of Turnitin, or failing that in hard copy, or through a combination of submission methods as approved by the Associate Dean (Education). The submission method is detailed below.

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.
