Level 3 Painting
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss J. Park.
Level 3 Painting
Students will work on a year-long project with their own chosen theme. They will learn to use a range of different mediums and techniques such as graphite, charcoal, pastel, ink, water-colour, collage, mixed-media, acrylics and even oil paints. Each student will be given their own studio space with display wall that can be also used as an easel.
Students will be producing a systemic body of work that integrate drawing and painting conventions, learning from established practice, and regenerate ideas to create their own unique artworks. Their works will be displayed on three A1 boards for external submission at the end of the year.
