Through discussion of contemporary artistic practice new skills will be achieved and confidence gained in the technical application of acrylic and/or oil paints.

Outcomes

Students will explore the properties of paint through experimentation with colour, texture, composition and subject matter.
Students will acquire skills in painting with limited palettes, paint mediums, brush, paper and other found tools to achieve a desired effect.
