Course Description

In this course you will produce paintings through the application of a range of techniques and materials. As such, the results are expected to be varied and broad in nature. Through a number of projects, you will investigate the essential nature of painting and consider it within a range of contexts - historical, contemporary, social and political. Painting is presented as not merely a material substance for personal expression, but also as a vehicle that implies how one thinks. You are introduced to a range of methods and mediums associated with painting. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of fundamental skills and to developing understanding of personal research and observation.
