Summary | THIS IS A FOR-CREDIT ONLY COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED.
This course will introduce ways which students can develop artworks beyond paint alone and to introduce the use of mixed media to create images which explore not just colour and shape but also surface and texture. Students will be encouraged to experiment, perhaps moving beyond a two-dimensional surface, finding the boundaries between painting and sculpture. The emphasis will be discovery and experimentation. |

This course will be assessed by the submission of a portfolio of visual art works within the discipline studied.

The work must be presented in a clear and professional manner appropriate to the discipline. The submission should include work undertaken within the class as well as directed and independent study out with the class. Typically, this will comprise:
- Class Contact hours: 27.5 (work undertaken during the class)
- Directed hours: 27.5 (work the tutor has set students to each week in their own time)
- Independent Study Hours: 45 (work students set themselves to do, relevant to the discipline studied)
The combined submission will be assessed against the three learning outcomes for this course. These are equally weighted and each will be given a percentage grade. To pass, students must achieve a minimum of 30% in each learning outcome and an overall combined mark of 40% minimum.
