Fine Art

Fine Art level 5 and 6 qualification consists of competencies that an individual must achieve to apply design element and principles, conceptualize fine art, produce paintings, drawings, sculptures and product making.

Painting is a means through which the artist expresses moods and feelings using wet pigments such as pencil,chalk,oils and acrylics on surfaces like paper, canvas or board. The course introduces the students to basic color mixing (color Theory) and studio based workshops on tools, accessories, techniques and themes in painting.
The painting course provides avenues for experimental art such as mixed media painting or collage. This course is complemented by units (subjects) in art criticism and painting history where the artist gains skills and knowledge in analyzing painting styles e.g., abstract art and cubism plus the documentation of artwork.
