This subject introduces students to the techniques and processes used in contemporary painting.
Through project-based experimentation students are guided through a range of different painting techniques and their application in the production of aesthetically and materially developed artworks.
This subject aims to create an informed and critical methodology for the use of contemporary painting technology as a vehicle for imaging ideas. It is also concerned with developing skills and a visual language through a range of painting media.
Students will participate in live online classes, and engage with online content including demonstrations and discussions. Ongoing feedback will be provided.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- demonstrate and effectively apply painting skills and techniques;
- identify and apply occupational health and safety practices for the safe use of painting materials;
- show technical development and proficiency in manipulating a range of paint media through practical experimentation and set tasks;
- demonstrate independent research in the field of painting;
- produce original images leading to materially and conceptually developed artworks;
- evaluate painting processes, creative outcomes and their own development.
