Course programme

As a group, you'll ask questions about painting in a contemporary context.

You'll work with the operations of, for example, installation, collage, the monochrome and found objects, which have reconfigured painting in the past and continue to bear on the possibilities of painting in the present.

The optional third week gives you a chance to concentrate on making a piece of work that further develops concepts and methods you've been working with. You'll be able to make use of the Slade’s spacious studios and technical support.

Framed by the group's engagement with what contemporary painting means, you'll be encouraged to continually reflect on what you're making. You'll also be helped to describe what you find and embed those discoveries in your ongoing practice.
