GRADE 11 VISUAL ART (AV13M)

Prerequisite: (AVI2O)

Students continue to explore the technical aspects of watercolour, print making (with drypoint and intaglio), mix media, expressive self-portraits, and so much more.  But, most of all students are encouraged to use their artwork as self-expression and a reflective exploration of each artist's personality and interests.

If you plan to take AVI4M, this course will better prepare you for the technical aspects of that grade 12 course.

GRADE 11 CRAFT (AWA3O)

No Prerequisites: Note that this course can not be used as a prerequisite for any of the grade 12 art classes.

This course is designed to foster students creativity in craft.  We will explore a variety of craft mediums (paper, fabric, glass, upcycling...) and students are encouraged to create based upon their personal passions. 

GRADE 12 PHOTOGRAPHY (AWQ4M)

Prerequisite: (ASM3M OR AVI3M)

​Students learn how to use a pinhole camera and a traditional darkroom.  The history and evolution of photography is discussed, but most of all, student are provided with a variety of photography tasks that help them develop the skill of taking 'great photographs': both compositionally and technically.

If students have their own digital camera or personal 35mm SLR camera, they are encouraged to use it.  However, the classroom is equipped with digital cameras, digital SLRs and 35mm cameras. You do not need your own camera to take this course.
