    Level Two Painting – 12VPT

    Course Content: The aim of the Level 2 Painting course is to provide students with a thorough grounding in painting practices. Students are taught to understand the ways paintings are made and to develop knowledge of the current processes, procedures, materials and techniques. This involves how to carry out research, generate ideas and develop these ideas in a systematic way through to the finished painting. A workbook is kept throughout the year to record this process of development. Students are encouraged to use contemporary and traditional artist models to develop their own work. At the beginning of the year students are guided as to their approaches in painting, both in subject matter and media. For the remainder of the year, students choose their own theme to develop their ideas for their folio, looking at a range of appropriate artist models in both traditional and contemporary practice. This course offers students a more personal and in-depth study in their exploration of subject matter and media. 

    Assessment: Level 2 Painting is a 16 credit course offering two Achievement Standards.

    • Develop ideas in a related series of drawings appropriate to established painting practice. (internally assessed - 4 credits)

They are required to explore global issues that relate to a chosen area of interest and as a result, formulate their own themed study for the duration of the year. Students will use both traditional and contemporary artists as models for their own work to develop their individual proposals.
