Course Description

Head of Faculty/Teacher in Charge: Mx R. Goldstein.

Recommended Prior Learning

To be accepted for this course, students must have earned 14 credits from Level 2 Painting and Printmaking, or have received HOF approval.

Level 3 Painting and Printmaking:  

This is a very practical, hands-on course. 

Students will choose to work with either painting or printmaking mediums. 

Both courses explore surface, risk-taking, and possibilities. Mediums can pour from the surface, or surprise with colour and texture. 

Student choose their theme and subject-matter for the year.

Students are encouraged to create their own painting or printmaking style, and expand their understanding of surface, pictorial space, mediums, and their observational drawing skills. 

Students will develop ideas and themes over the year, in consultation with the teacher, and be inspired by artist role models,  to extend and regenerate their work.

Students complete one 14 credit external assessment, where they display a three-panel portfolio of their year’s work. 

Students can also complete one internal assignment, and have the option to complete a second. Each are 4 credit assignments. These assignments utilise the same work as on the exam portfolio and are therefore presented digitally by photographing their artworks.

Opportunities arise each year for students to publicly exhibit their work and enter competitions.
