Painting

Possible media for works in this category could include:

• acrylic paints
• oil paints
• edicol dyes
• watercolours
• poster paints or gouache

Why not consider:

• mixing acrylic paint with sand, PVA, sawdust, plaster of paris or modelling compound.
• applying paint with different implements such as a range of brush sizes, cardboard offcuts, strings, feathers, sponges etc.
• using a range of surfaces such as brown paper, cloth, cardboard etc.
• combining painting with other forms.

There are also hundreds of examples of student works and lessons available on the Teaching Resources CD available through The Arts Unit. For a more "hands-on" approach, why not look at attending one of the Operation Art Workshops which are held in many locations across New South Wales.
