Wedi cwblhau'r modiwl dylai'r myfyrwyr fedru:

1. Produce a portfolio of paintings that clearly demonstrates experimentation and proficiency in processes of painting as appropriate to personal research
2. 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
3. Sustain an extended engagement with a painting practice towards resolution
4. Employ techniques and materials in a selective and critical manner with regard to process and subject matter
5. Identify their art practice within the context of contemporary and historical approaches in painting
6. 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 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 in previous painting modules 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.

• Further develop self-directed portfolios.
• Develop upon previous or initiate a new consideration of subject matter and content in relation to the personality of the student
• Further build upon technical knowledge and approaches relevant to the students’ intentions
• Encourage experimentation and risk-taking in the setting of self-initiated problems and use of the medium
• Develop the student’s ability to articulate and discuss the above in a reasoned, critical or thought-provoking manner
• Encourage students to contextualise their work in relation to past and present art and ideas
• Fully engage with workshops, group cohesion, tutorials and overall learning relevant within the context of painting.

This module supports research and studio based self-directed practice in painting. Tutorials and workshops are embedded to further develop technical and conceptual understanding of a broader context of painting. The emphasis of the module is upon experimentation to explore new avenues of painting approaches and concepts.
