New Brief - Painting

Through this unit, I aim to develop my skills and knowledge in investigating and exploring the physical properties of different painting media and materials. through the process of experimentation and ongoing evaluation I aim to build up a personal record of my investigation that I will use to inform my ideas for a finished piece.
    This unit will consist of an introduction to a variety of techniques and processes that I will explore and research and then apply to my own work. I will explore the following techniques:

• Media, materials and techniques.
• Colour and colour mixing 
• Washes and applying paint
• Mixed media 
• Developing ideas 
• Investigating traditional ideas and
  contemporary still life painting 
• Exploring the work of artists

I have 5 targets for this unit:

• demonstrate an informed understanding of painting throughout the unit, and creatively apply it to my own work.
• produce evidence of extending the range and potential of my work to inform my artwork.
• show an imaginative approach to the relationship between subject matter and the materials used.
• record my information well and show that my evaluation compliments a sophisticated body of work.
• produce a sophisticated and exciting painting of still life.
