Course Description

This course leads to Grade 8 Visual ArtsDescription: The grade 7 curriculum follows on from the grade 6 curriculum in which the students experience the power of art to have hidden symbolic meaning and how artists throughout the ages have used this way of communicating their ideas and feelings. In the seventh grade the focus is on how this is done through still-life with cross hatch, printmaking.The general trend in the grade 7 curriculum then becomes one of encouraging students to recognize links between meaning and abstraction (as opposed to the more conventional reading of readily recognizable objects within a work) and to appreciate that expressivity and emotion can be integral parts of a meaningful work regardless of representative content.Tips:

Keep in mind that I am not grading assignments. I am collecting evidence to determine student progress and pointing you towards your next steps. We should make that mental switch. 😀
