Learners select their own theme or subject matter and complete a painting investigation using the conventions of painting practice based on artist models. Learners are expected to take personal photographs of their chosen subject, research own artist models and complete a visual diary to support their practical work. The course is time intensive and requires learners to be working hard in all classes and making time for home learning.
