How to make art works in drawing and painting media, with extension into a further media investigation. Develops an understanding of the relationships of art and artists to their historical and social settings. Allows students to explore and develop personal imagery in negotiated projects in visual arts practice.
The purpose of this paper is to equip students with little previous art experience,
or those who do have some experience in this subject, to engage in a negotiated, personal
art investigation. The paper will allow students to learn processes for drawing for
investigation and for the generation and development of art projects. It will introduce
students to an appropriate range of media and technical processes in drawing, painting
and an appropriate extension medium, and it will introduce students to the range of
formal and conventional practices necessary to inform their own art making.
The paper will also develop the skills necessary to investigate, analyse and evaluate
the works of other artists in related contexts in ways that can contribute to the
development of students' own art projects.
