Description

The aim of this subject is to give the student an understanding of the theory and practice of painting. The module is designed to develop the learner's confidence and to allow them to gain experience in the handling and manipulation of both materials and ideas. The module is also designed to increase the students fluency in working across a broad range of scales and on multiple pieces moving the learner towards building a series of works. 

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Have gained in depth knowledge and experience of making and preparing a variety of supports for painting. 

2.

Have gained practical and theoretical experience of different methods and techniques of painting and concentrated on using extenders and associated mediums. (Have developed good studio practice and an understanding of health and safety issues related to working with painting mediums.) 

3.

Have acquired experience and awareness of appropriate visual research methods. 

4.

Have expressed a personal response to project themes and ideas through the medium of painting.( Have evolved an understanding of how concept, materials and process combine to form meaning.) 

5.

Have begun to make paintings in series. 
 

Teaching and Learning Strategies

A variety of teaching and learning strategies are employed: these range from individual tutorials, through to practical demonstrations and workshops with materials and techniques within a studio class context.  There are a number of supplementary activities to aid the students depth of learning and reflection including group critique, field trips to museums and galleries and  Visiting Artist Programme.

Module Assessment Strategies

Practical work will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and there will be a formal mid semester review. Assessment will take place at the end of the semester. At this point each of the learning outcomes are considered in relation to the art works presented and in relation to the supporting portfolio (which should include support studies, accompanying documentation, visual journals and /or relevant texts). 

 

Repeat Assessments

Students will be given repeat project briefs, which will be issued at end of academic stage and submitted in the Autumn. 

Indicative Syllabus

The module is made up of two projects. Both projects will be selected by staff from a choice of project types. 

Research 
The initial stage of the projects allow the student to explore a variety of research methods and to develop personal responses, both through studio practice and the keeping of a painting journal.  Research is considered to be an ongoing and integral part of all projects as they progress.

Development
The project should move on to a developmental stage where students test out concepts and processes. The learner should test a variety of scales within the  duration of the module. Consideration should be given to the suitability of supports for production, and a variety of tools and mediums should be explored towards developing a facility with the medium. The learner should investigate ways of changing a composition and developing an understanding of colour relationships within the production of the work. Emphasis is placed on initiating a personal approach to process.

Output
The learner should begin to draw conclusions within a body of work and question how image, material and process combine to form meaning. 
Towards the end of the module the learner should have identified themes of personal interest and have outlined their own brief and begun to initiate individual working practices. The project aims to encourage the learner to explore process through sustained practice, to build a level of critical judgement and to gain confidence and independence in the making of a series of paintings.

Image based project

Various thematic projects that stimulate creative play with imagery. Content is destabilised as scale, context and juxtapositions are shifted to form new configurations.

or

Translations: historical meets contemporary

Here the brief sets out a list of approx 10-15 historical paintings and a list of up to 50 contemporary painters, to which the learner adds an element of their own choosing. The project sets out to aid the student to understand practice through process by working with elements from contemporary and historical paintings coupled with their own visual interests. 

or

Process based project

Various thematic projects that spur and accentuate the role of 'process' within the students' work. Projects are designed and delivered to promote conceptual, applied and experimental approaches towards making paintings and related studies. Non narrative modes are encouraged.

or

Found image, material and object project

Various thematic projects which foster the role of chance, subliminal and automatic factors, alongside considered intellectual choices, in the development of a body of work. Stimulates a broader 3 D (or sculptural) conception of, and approach to, painting by encouraging non-traditional grounds, supports and techniques.
