Painting 4 begins with an exploration of the ways other visual media and technologies have influenced approaches to painting technically, formally and conceptually since the invention of photography. Higher-level skills, concepts, techniques, processes are developed in this process. A second project presents students with the opportunity to define and explore an individual studio project, emphasizing a creative synthesis of concept and process. Material exploration, critical thinking and creative problem solving are encouraged. Drawing is approached both as research for the painting process and as an independent expressive form. Studio theory contextualizes these painting projects within the broader arts context. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.

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

1. competently utilize a range of higher level skills relevant to the discipline, in response to set tasks
2. independently explore the potential of material/s
3. experiment with the application of concepts and processes
4. critically engage with historical and theoretical contexts
