About Painting
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
This unit sits in the Studio Practice: Two-Dimensional Media strand of Visual arts. Most of what is listed is mind maps, and they follow a clear thread: what a painting is made of, how each medium behaves, and how an artist applies it.
- Materials: the mind map Painter's Medium & Materials breaks a painting into support, ground, medium and paint, with pigment, binding medium and diluent as the working recipe.
- Individual media: separate maps cover Fresco, Tempera, Oil and Acrylic, each looking at support, binding medium, visual characteristics and advantages.
- Technique: the map Handling the paint. looks at brushes, palette knives, rags and hands, and at thick or thin application.
Where to start
Begin with the flashcard deck Painting terminology. It covers words such as sfumato, gouache, impasto, triptych, chiaroscuro, fresco, stippling, tempera, trompe l'oeil and en plein air. Knowing these makes the maps easier to read.
Next, work through Painter's Medium & Materials, then the single-medium maps. The Fresco map, for example, separates buon fresco on wet plaster from secco on dry plaster, and notes that secco can peel off. The Tempera map covers egg yolk as a binder, and there is also a note called TEMPERA.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first, then close it and try a quiz. The listed quizzes include OIL PAINTING, The Fresco Technique, Famous painters and Oil Paint Colors (Blue). If an answer surprises you, go back to the matching map and look at that branch again.
A simple routine
- Learn the terms in the flashcard deck.
- Read one medium map.
- Take the matching quiz.
- Compare two media, such as oil and acrylic, side by side.
Beyond the basics
The map Unit 1: Painting turns to looking at finished work: figures and setting, composition, colour, space, tone, genre, mood and interpretation. Portraits, Still Life Art and Portrait Painting give you subjects to apply that to.
Pick one medium today, read its map and see how much you can explain without looking back.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start on this Painting page?
Start with the Painting terminology flashcard deck, which gives you words like impasto, gouache and chiaroscuro. Then read the mind map Painter's Medium & Materials, which sets out support, ground, medium and paint. After that, move on to the maps for fresco, tempera, oil and acrylic.
What do the mind maps cover?
Most of them look at painting media. The Fresco, Tempera, Oil and Acrylic maps each cover the support, the binding medium, the visual characteristics and the advantages. Others cover handling the paint, portraits, pigments, still life and watercolour technique.
Which quizzes are there?
There are over 5 quizzes, with titles including OIL PAINTING, The Fresco Technique, Famous painters and Oil Paint Colors (Blue). Use them after reading a matching mind map, so you can see which branches you remember and which need another look.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who is this page for?
Most of the resources are at secondary level, so school students will find the most here. University students can use it to fill gaps, and teachers can pick out ready-made maps, flashcards and quizzes for a lesson on painting media.
What if I can't find a topic I need?
Some topics may not be listed, such as a particular artist or technique. Check the related maps first, since a topic often sits inside a wider one. You can also build your own mind map or flashcard deck to fill the gap.
