Visual Art O.E.
The purpose of bringing art classes into the outdoors is to give students the opportunity to connect with the natural world while creating meaningful artworks.
Visual Arts Curricular Outcomes will remain the focus. However, outdoor & environmental education components will be linked to lessons.
Classes will be given prior notice for outings (when possible). It is recommended that students dress for the weather of the day. (Boots, hats, toques, gloves, jackets.)
