At Level 2, students work on an individualised program. Building on the foundations of drawing and painting in Level 1, students develop a broad-base of drawing and painting techniques and skills. These include drawing for painting, exploration of dry and wet materials, and the ability to explore, develop, and resolve an idea visually. The focus is on studying and applying the underpinning processes and skills within the disciplines of drawing and painting. Students create a portfolio, generating and developing their own visual ideas and themes through the study of contemporary artists models.
An achieved or better in Level 1 Art Visual or Level 1 Design and Photography is recommended, or by approval from HOD.
