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 9, students will study the basic elements of art through the use of various media including pencil, pastel, watercolour and clay. Students will work in two and three dimensional formats. They will study the use of elements of art in professional work and attempt to apply the ideas learned to their own work.
