Other materials in the line of (mixed media) may be used with oil paint. The pre-requisite will be an earlier exposure of the student to IFA 2106 which involves the basic materials of oil colour and acrylic.
Students are expected to learn the process of creating themes and how such a process is integral to the quality of artistic expression.Additionally, experimentation with material and form helps learners to exploit the qualities of instinct and intuition in art making, which are key factors towards the development of sound art works.Through experimentation with material and technique, students gain confidence and prepare themselves for the next level of artistic engagements.
