Painting 2A FSP214

Introduction

This unit focuses on the development of image-making strategies using paint as the primary medium. Via a focus on image construction and pictorial space, you will explore ideas and concepts in response to a brief.

As well as learning about the history of painting, in terms of ideas and techniques, you will broaden your understanding and engagement with the diverse materials, methodologies and processes associated with contemporary painting practice.

Through collaborative group tasks and individual tasks, you will develop your ability to experiment with materials, through iterative processes and idea development with a view to developing an innovative and inquiring work practice.

Guided by staff, students are encouraged to develop independent learning strategies towards the development of individual expression and self- directed learning.
