Course Overview

Core Requirement for BA Hons Painting
Elective Option for BA Hons Creative Arts*

This course will close to new enrolments at the end of August 2011

This course also builds on Painting 1: Starting to Paint. It progressively requires you to make your own choices of subject and approach. It introduces new concepts and new painting subjects and you will explore some previous subjects, such as the human form, in greater depth. You can work in acrylics, oils or watercolours and you will be introduced to collage. There is a wide choice of projects and you can work on those that best suit your interests. Theoretical studies will help you ‘place’ your work in the context of twentieth and twenty-first century art and you will be offered guidelines to help you evaluate your work.
