In Painting 5 each student develops an individual creative project and is encouraged to build painting skills and explore methods and processes appropriate to their chosen theme. Individual work develops over the semester in response to discussion with staff and peers, emphasizing creative, critical and reflective thinking. Drawing continues both as an adjunct to painting and as a creative form in itself. Studio theory surveys the international contemporary field and emphasizes the skills of pictorial analysis and interpretation. Student presentations foster each student's ability to articulate a contextual framework for their developing practice. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.
