40S Visual Arts

The overall goal of the program is to develop students’ ability to represent and express their ideas through visual arts. Students will develop and apply their understanding of the elements, and principles of art in creating their own work. The program is meant to improve visual literacy in such a way that students will have a basis to be able to understand and critique art.

In grade 12, students will continue to explore new media and apply the skills learned in previous years. Emphasis will shift from techniques to visual literacy, using art to convey meaning. This course will provide wider boundaries for the students, allowing greater scope for their own personal exploration and creation of art.
