On completion of this module, students should be able to:
a) Produce a portfolio of paintings that clearly demonstrates experimentation and proficiency in processes of painting as appropriate to personal research
b) Produce a body of research to include sketchbooks, drawings, written and visual material that clearly demonstrates a line of enquiry and gives expression to the individual's ideas and concerns
c) Sustain working and resolution of painting practice
d) Employ techniques and materials in a selective and critical manner with regard to process and subject matter
e) Identify their art practice within the context of contemporary and historical traditions of painting
f) Develop proficient strategies for painting practice with regard to issues of health and safety
This module which runs concurrently with AR31840 Painting 6 aims to promote self-directed study and emphasises the need for sustained and focused workshop-based activity. Tutorial support is given on a one-to-one basis and technical demonstrations and advice are offered as required. A professional approach to painting is expected and considerable commitment outside of timetabled sessions is required if a full programme of research is to be engaged upon. For the module students are expected to research and develop a strong conceptual or thematic basis for their work using subject matter that is meaningful and important to them. Development of subject matter may derive from work carried out at Level 2 or may evolve from newly formed ideas and aspirations. Definition of appropriate subject matter is determined by discussion with the student's tutor and a programme of research and development is then suggested and agreed. For Single honours Students, this programme of research is closely allied to work that is completed for AR30620 Research and Process in Practice and it is important to realise that one module will inform the other. Students are expected to produce a portfolio of paintings and supporting material in the form of preparatory or exploratory drawings, drawing books and sketch books, supporting written and visual material, demonstrating both thematic and technical research and experimentation in technique, format and media. Completed paintings should be executed with due regard to professional practice and all work should presented in a professional manner.
