Painting Conventions
Conventions: established procedures, in making art works, that use particular pictorial devices, techniques or processes to represent, organise, or interpret ideas. Traditional, stylistically or culturally accepted ways of doing things.
In Visual Arts conventions can refer to the combination of art elements, design principles, composition and style.

Conventions refer to the characteristics and constraints applicable, relevant and fitting to established practice within the fields of design, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture. These include:
- drawing conventions: approaches and practices
- technical conventions: processes and procedures

What is established practice?
What is established practice?
Established practice refers to works by artists that are recognised as belonging to a particular genre, style, convention, or way of working. The investigation of solutions found in established practice includes past and contemporary artworks.
Conventions appropriate to painting refer to the characteristics and constraints applicable and fitting to the field.
In class we often refer to established practice with the terminology of artist models
What is an artist model?
What is an artist model?
A practicing professional artist / painter who has been recognised by the art world and published. Work may have been in exhibitions and is in books/magazines. They are published because of the quality of their artwork.
Artists who you find online (social media) are not considered established artists models unless you do further research and find out if they have exhibited and been published.
Pinterest, TickTock and Instagram IS NOT your main source of inspiration
It is important that you have a range of artist models. You must make sure you have some artists that are well known an recognised with a combination of New Zealand, International, contemporary and traditional artist.
Why do we use artist models?
Why do we use artist models?
To learn from the success and failures of other artists’ work and for inspiration for your own work.
In order to develop your art practice and skills, learners should explore different starting points and processes for making work.
You will utilise and incorporate their ideas / themes / techniques of artist models with your own work. Students are encouraged to investigate a range of approaches to painting through the study of artist models appropriate to their chosen subject matter and interests.
Artist models and established practice are a requirement of NCEA standards.
For each assessment you will be required to show your use of established practice and how you have applied it to your own work.
Below are examples of student artworks and the use of artist models

When looking for established practice artist models begin by looking through the resources below and the books in class.
Tips:
Search by painting movement, style or specific artistic techniques.
Don't look for artist models based on your topic/theme. Look for ideas and techniques you like and the art movement, genre you are working in.
Don't search online without specific information and direction. Lots of people think of themselves as photographers - these people are not established practice.
