Aims

Students should gain an understanding of:

• The process of experimentation with brushes and a range of other tools.
• The use of different consistencies of paint to achieve different effects.
• How to collect visual information using photographs and sketches in preparation for a painting.
• The concept of composition – covering the whole canvas first and gradually building up the surface by adding more detail.
• Special vocabulary to describe and respond critically to their own and others' work.
• The need for reworking and development of an idea to achieve a successful piece of artwork.
