ART06089 2019 Painting 1 (Colour, Light and Composition)

Have begun to understand core concepts and to develope technical skills in the use of colour, tone and composition. 
(Have engaged with analytical, observational processes and begun to produce a body of work).

Have begun to illustrate through the keeping a visual journal, concepts related to composition, colour and their own related research and ideas.

Have begun to explore a range of making through a variety of media and scales (and to gain knowledge of heath and safety and good working practices within the studio environment).

Have begun to develop coherent methods to formulate responses in addressing themes and to have begun to make initial connections between their own work and related historical and contemporary practice. 

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 the Visiting Artist Programme.

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 texts). 
 

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

This programme aims to challenge and broaden the students knowledge of colour and composition within the two dimensional picture plane.
This subject equips the student with a diverse range of experience in working through working with water based mediums, collage and mixed media on a variety of scales.
