Stow Building, 53 students

The Department of Painting and Printmaking is the largest specialist department within the School of Fine Art and the programme of study provides an increase the breadth of experience and learning opportunities for students.

The programme aims to equip students with the necessary skills and expertise to realise their full creative potential and to pursue a career in the visual arts or other chosen professions. Each year is designed to ensure that it builds upon the previous year in terms of content, skill development and individual research.  Students are provided with a sound knowledge of the theory and practice of their subject before developing personal study paths and self-motivated programmes of work in the final year.

Welcome

Introduction to Painting & Printmaking

Behind the hap frame in "they are containers of fluidity" is hung a lithography print of a 35mm film photograph. This makes up the performative gesture of the work titled “pegging down their lace”. The lithography print is made of four coloured layers (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to create a full colour image. It retains the quality of the original film photograph. The white paper is pinned at the four corners with sewing pins into cork behind. The image itself is set amongst the mossy, loch edge in the Kilpatrick hills, just outside Glasgow. The blue ripples of loch Humphrey are just visible on the top edge of the image. Two young, white hands touch the knitting and steel knitting needles – pinning it out on the grass and moss. Small moss sporophytes peek through some holes in the lace. There is a gentle light settled across the photo and small shadows of the knitting needles are cast on the hand closest to the foreground.
A piece of knitted lace is stretched in the middle of the hap frame. It has been hand spun on the spinning wheel in the opposite corner. The wool comes from Shetland and is undyed and brilliant white. Full of sheepy texture, and smell. The lace is made up of a repeating ‘fir cone’ lace pattern and diamond motif. It is rectangular, with straight (as straight as knitting is) long edges, and scalloped short edges. The lace has been sewn into the frame with thin, white thread to join the knit to the holes in the wood.

Photo Scanned Envelope Printed onto Silk.

from ‘Printed Luxury’

The photocopied image of gloves on silk is a striking image that is reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionism movement. This helps the work to be more contemporary as contributed by how the silk material ripples in the breeze.
