Painting 1 introduces students to basic skills, techniques and processes of oil and acrylic painting. Studio projects focus on the observation and handling of tonal values, and colour systems and their application in the composition of paintings. Basic principles and concepts of representational and abstract painting are introduced and students are encouraged to learn from historical and contemporary examples. Drawing classes develop observational and experimental skills. Studio theory is delivered as a series of lectures. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. utilize skills relevant to the discipline in response to Workshop projects
