L2 Art Painting

This course is highly practical with some research and a great deal of practical application of ideas and techniques. The disciplines of drawing, printmaking and painting are covered in some depth. Students’ work is initially a directed, thematic approach using recommended model artists, ultimately leading to an exploration of their own. The completed work is integrated into a cohesive body of practical work.

Internal Standards: One internal standard is offered and is worth 4 credits and is a combination of research theory and practical work.

External Portfolio: This is a submission of practical work worth 12 credits in total and is externally assessed. Essentially, this folio is based on the work established in the Internals that are completed during the first two terms of the year. The folio comprises of two A1 panels that show how students have used their chosen artist models and integrated them into their own work. The work must show a development and a sequence of logical ideas that are investigated, developed and refined to produce finished conclusions.
