What is it and why should I do it?
Paint is a subject designed to introduce you to a range of painting techniques and help you develop skills in creating visual art using various mediums and styles. Throughout the unit, you will engage in hands-on activities, learn about the history of painting, study renowned artists, and deepen your understanding of the elements and principles of art. You’ll be encouraged to express your creativity, take risks, and explore your own artistic voice, while also building technical proficiency and a greater appreciation for the art of painting.
