Objectives On successful completion of this subject, students should have advanced skills in painting techniques; have developed their own iconography and conceptual concerns; be broadly researching other artists' work especially those relevant to their own; be experimenting in the use of materials and adapting these to conceptual issues in their work; have an advanced perceptual skill and critical sensibility; be able to speak intelligently about their own work and provide constructive critique on the work of others; have a lucid understanding of the critical, conceptual and theoretical issues surrounding contemporary painting; be practicing health and safety procedures in the studio.

Synopsis This subject develops the creative and expressive potential inherent in students' work. Students are encouraged to articulate their conceptual and expressive strengths through their practice. Set projects are fully terminated at this point as the emphasis shifts entirely to self-motivated practice. This practice is exploratory but with a firm grasp on theoretical issues relevant to students' practices. Teaching concentrates on individual tuition, group critique and discussion.
