Learning Outcomes


1. Produce a folio of paintings which demonstrates appropriate use of materials and techniques within a self-initiated proposal.
2. Produce a journal which documents and analyses contemporary issues and practice in painting.
3. Apply a personal conceptual framework for own paintings.


Details of Learning Activities

Tuition is primarily studio-based. A range of teaching staff will assist the student to maintain an emphasis on individual professional art practice. Works will be developed as a response to self-initiated projects. The work should define a personal investigation which incorporates a range of experimental ideas and technologies. It is also essential that students make gallery visits a priority. 


Teaching Schedule

Classes are run over an 18 week semester. Sixteen weeks of studio-based tutorials. Two weeks of folio preparation for assessment.


Learning Resources

Prescribed Texts


References


Other Resources

Students’ own consistent and wide research into appropriate practitioners, who will enrich and broaden the scope of their production.


Overview of Assessment

Folio presentation marked by a panel, with written responses.


Assessment Tasks

Students will present a folio of a minimum of eight (8) pieces of resolved work and a thoroughly utilised Visual Diary.

The folio should clearly demonstrate a development of an ongoing personal visual language. The furtherance of methods and techniques acquired in First Year should also be evident. The work must reflect a consistent interaction with tutors in the studio and within group and individual tutorials in order to be considered for assessment.
