Course Overview

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

This course will help you make the transition from self-motivated student to independent artist. With the help of your tutor and the course guidelines, you will plan your own study programme and by the end of the course you will have demonstrated your ability to conceive and develop innovative visual ideas and take them to a successful conclusion. You should normally have already completed a Level 2 course in painting before embarking on Painting 3: Advanced, but direct entry onto the course is possible for more experienced artists who wish to work one-to-one with a professional tutor. All students choose their own tutor from the OCA portfolio of advanced painting tutors.
