13 Art Painting

Course Content

This course will be designed to build upon and develop the student’s knowledge of established painting practice, context, procedures, materials and techniques from Level 2 Painting.

Students will be allowed to develop their own theme to form the basis of their painting work for the year. The internal assessments (4 credits each) are integrated to create a body of work from which students can develop their own ideas and interests to produce the externally assessed part of the course (14 credit folio board). 

Objectives

• To develop student's knowledge and understanding of and extend this knowledge through individual practice.
• To further expand students’ knowledge of art practitioners and painting practices.
• To continue to use the visual diary to show working progress including research, idea generation and experiments to enable students to analyse and clarify ideas.
• To manage self and time within a student centric course.

Extra curricular activities that can extend students in Visual Arts include:

GDC_arts - Ongoing competitions, external Art and Photography competitions, Art lunchtime activities, Summerfest, School Art Exhibition, displays, assisting with School Production, community projects and scholarship.
