Working directly from nude and draped models set up against a range of environments, this course will introduce you to painting methods and techniques to explore ways to examine colour, tone, composition and create mood. While some emphasis will be placed on the proportion and form of the figure itself, you will also be encouraged to consider ways to be expressive in the application of paint to reveal a personal approach to the subject. |

Assessment Information
All practice-based art and design 10 credit courses are assessed by the submission of a portfolio of visual art and/or design works within the discipline studied. This will include a selection of resolved art and/or design works, preparatory studies, visual research and evidence of a contextual awareness through a completed sketchbook and/or visual journal. The work must be presented in a clear and professional manner appropriate to the discipline. The submission should include work undertaken within the class as well as directed and independent study out with the class. Typically, this will comprise:
- Class Contact hours: 27.5 (work you do during the class)
- Directed hours: 27.5 (work your tutor has set for you to do each week in your own time)
- Independent Study Hours: 45 (work you set yourself to do, relevant to the discipline studied)
The combined submission will be assessed against the three learning outcomes for this course. These are equally weighted and each will be given a percentage grade. To pass, you must achieve a minimum of 30% in each learning outcome and an overall combined mark of 40% minimum.
