In this full-year course students develop the foundational skills required to pursue a Major in Drawing & Painting.

Working from observation, figuration, abstraction and digital processes to explore varied approaches to painting, students will investigate materiality, colour, design, historical context and concept. Along with building strong painterly skills students discover the conventions of painting to consider their cultural meanings and push at established boundaries.
