Great news! The new DHH Integrated Arts class has been scheduled!!! OVERVIEW Integrated arts focuses on both art appreciation and creation. It allows students to analyse works from various arts disciplines and create art works or productions that integrate aspects of these disciplines. This course encourages creative expression and fosters the development of skills and knowledge that prepare students for lifelong learning and participation in the arts and arts-related activities. In integrated arts, students explore creative challenges through the use of elements, principles, materials, and techniques from two of more of the arts disciplines, including dance, drama, media arts, music, and visual arts. Students also explore the functions of, influences on, and impact of art works from various disciplines. The expectations for the course in integrated arts are organized into three distinct but related strands:

1. Creating and Presenting: Students apply the creative process (see page 14–16) to produce and present art works/productions using materials and elements and/or principles from more than one arts discipline. Students use technologies, tools, and techniques associated with these disciplines to create, present, and promote integrated art works/productions for a variety of purposes. 2. Reflecting, Responding, and Analysing: In this strand, students use the critical analysis process (see pages 16–20) to develop their understanding of and appreciation for works from various arts disciplines. Students examine the role of art in society and how the arts have affected their values and sense of identity, generating a deeper understanding of themselves and the communities in which they live. 3. Foundations: In this strand, students develop their understanding of, and use proper terminology when referring to, elements, principles, and other key concepts related to various arts disciplines. They learn about themes, symbols, and approaches used by various artists as well as conventions and ethical considerations associated with creating and experiencing different types of art works. It is split, with a ALC2OH – for grade 9 and 10 students, and, an AEA3OH – for grade 11 and 12 students. Your guidance counsellors will be contacting you for your timetables soon. Thank you.
