Painting is a specialist Visual Arts subject which aims for students to develop an understanding of advanced drawing and painting processes and practices. Students will apply their knowledge of media exploration, developing and resolving visual ideas around a centralised theme, and research contemporary art practice to extend and develop their approach to painting. The independent nature of this course is similar to tertiary education.
An achieved or better in Level 2 Painting External Assessment Standard is required. An achieved or better in any other Level 2 Art Visual External Assessment Standard could gain entry with HOD permission.
