This course presents students with the opportunity to define and explore an individual studio project, emphasising a creative synthesis of concept and process. Material exploration, critical thinking, and creative problem solving are encouraged. Drawing and collage is approached both as research for the painting process and as an independent expressive form. Studio theory contextualizes these painting projects within the broader arts context. 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:
- identify and effectively apply a range of higher level painting skills tailored to their own project;
- independently explore the potential of painting materials to convey their ideas;
- experiment with the integration of painting concepts and processes suited to their chosen theme; and
- critically engage with contemporary painting, its history, and theory relevant to their own project.
