Module Description: |
The second year painting module covers eight hours per week and is project based. The aim of this module is to strengthen core skills learnt in year one and to develop a visual curiosity within the student. There is an emphasis on developing skills across a broad range of media. Students are asked to explore the use of materials and their relation to form and to develop a questioning open-ended attitude to making Art. Experimentation is encouraged as is risk taking and learning new and diverse ways of working. This module seeks to develop a critical awareness within the students own practise and increase knowledge of the interconnection between theory and practise. Students are expected to attend and participate in all the formal timetabled sessions for the subject. Students are also expected to manage their directed learning and independent study in support of the subject and project aims. At the start of Semester 2 students chose between the electives of Painting Practices and Sculpture & Expanded Practices. Subject aims: To cultivate students’ visual curiosity, while generating an inquiring and open-ended development of their technical skills; To encourage students to gain confidence and fluency in a broad range of painting practices /2D visual media skills; To promote creative thinking and experimentation in responding to the demands of their learning programme; To build a mutually informative relationship between theory and practice; To develop student’s ability to identify various learning needs explicit to their own practice and adopt effective and active learning solutions; To develop a critical awareness with regard to the individual student’s own practice.
