Entry RequirementsPainting will suit students who enjoy and have talent in drawing and painting. Students will need to be able to think creatively and imaginatively to develop ideas.
This course aims to build and refine skills in drawing and painting techniques, colour mixing and tonal modeling. You will also learn how to develop their own ideas through analysis, and learning about artists’ themes, concepts and techniques. The main focus of the course is to strengthen skills and knowledge in drawing and painting, idea development and investigation of a theme or a concept. You will complete three projects: the first explores painting techniques and skill building, the second you will learn about the different ways artists paint and where they get their ideas from, and the final project will be combing the learning from the first two projects to develop ideas for a series of paintings through a self-selected theme. This subject can lead into Level 3 Painting, Design, DVC and Photography. This course is also important if students want to study Art and Design based degrees or want to make their career in a creative industry.
