Painting

Welcome to AccessArt: Painting

Scratching into wet paint.

Painting is a great way to explore line, colour, shape and mark-making in an exciting, messy and engaging way.

Painting is a versatile discipline. By exploring different painting media and techniques, learners will understand through experience how the medium acts for them and build an understanding of the intention behind the painterly marks they make.

Build an understanding of painting as an activity and outcome, and develop skills to help facilitate a creative and inclusive exploration of painting in others.
