The course is intended to develop more advanced drawing and painting skills, and to allow students the opportunity to explore elements such as line, tone, colour, perspective and composition in depth. The course also examines the language of drawing and painting in a variety of contexts, both as an exploratory tool, and as a means of creating finished works of art. Students will work from a wide range of primary and secondary sources, and will learn how to use drawing and painting as the basis for personal creative interpretation.
