Painting 2: Mixed Media is suitable for students who, having already developed a grounding in technical and creative skills, now wish to engage in a more experimental form of Fine Art practice. This course offers a great deal of choice and flexibility where students develop their own ideas about painting through a combination of different activities. While working through the practical exercises and projects, you will be encouraged to approach your own practice and the practices of others with an open mind and a willingness to engage with issues, techniques and materials from a range of historic and contemporary art practices including painting, collage, photography, sculpture, and installation.

  • The multi-dimensional image or scene with projects on Objects and combines, three dimensional tableaux or diorama, real and illusory spaces and places, and your final project and critical review.
