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 10, students will review and expand on their understanding of the basic elements and principles of art. This course will emphasize the learning of basic techniques in portraiture, drawing of the human figure, watercolour, perspective and the creation of landscapes. The course will attempt to use a variety of media in this exploration.
