Objectives On successful completion of this subject, students will possess an understanding of the formal language of painting, especially composition, volumetric relationships and colour; an elementary command of the resources of representation, especially relating to perception of a suitable motif; a critical eye for aesthetic cliches; curiosity for the potential of image-making techniques and interest in the meaningful relationships between subject matter and the manner of its representation.
