Studio Painting

This course is for those with some painting experience who want to develop a personal body of work.

You will learn how to translate ideas into paintings through sketchbook studies, colour theory, composition, and painting techniques. You’ll experiment with recording visual information, study the work of other artists, and refine your use of materials.

You will be taught in specialist art and design studios with an emphasis on iterative, hands-on process with demonstrations, group discussions, and one-to-one feedback. By the end, you will have developed a series of paintings that reflect their individual creative vision.

Learners are responsible for purchasing their own materials. You may be required to bring some materials to your first and subsequent classes. Learn more about the materials required for this course here. Please do not purchase any materials until your course is confirmed to run. You will require access to a device with an internet connection. 

Learning in this course is hands-on, and your skills will develop through practice, discovery, and engagement with materials and techniques. If you have fully engaged with all the learning activities and have attended regularly, by the end of the course, you should be able to:

• Research, record, and develop ideas visually through a sketchbook and Learning Journal, using contextual references to support their creative process;
• Develop and apply personal painting strategies, processes, and technical skills to create a series of resolved paintings;
• Demonstrate a cohesive body of work, demonstrating critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to communicate ideas visually. 

This course is for those with some painting experience who want to develop a personal body of work.
