As with PAIN211 course, PAIN212 will be divided into two distinct projects. These projects will span term three and four respectively.The first project will be assigned to them by their studio lecturer and be designed to build upon the specialist knowledge students acquired in the prerequisite 211 course and direct students to an area of individual interest within the discipline. Students will engage in weekly critiques of studio work in progress and / or technical workshops or reading groups.For the second project students will negotiate an individual course of study with their studio lecturer. Students will negotiate the bounds of this project by writing a formal Teaching and Learning Agreement, subject to approval by their lecturer. It is expected that the project, in combination with skills and knowledge learnt in the completion of prior projects, will effectively staircase the student into a more self-defined, intensive area of study within the third year of the programme.
Students will learn:A solid understanding of the methodologies and technologies that define the medium of paintingA broad understanding of the importance of research in developing a critically engaged and self-sustaining artistic practiceHow to conduct and interpret research for the purposes of establishing a body of workAn understanding of historical antecedents and contemporary contexts inherent in contemporary painting practice
