Visual Arts at the senior level takes a few different forms at CCSS.
Core Visual Arts at the grade eleven and twelve explore techniques and skills started in earlier grades, and often more choice for students to engage in the creative process independently.
Specialty Visual Art courses only run at the senior level, and explore the creative process as well as media specific technical skills and terminology through the lens of a specific media. At CCSS, we currently offer a sculpture course as well as a photography class.
AVI 3M and 4M are higher level visual art courses, where students refine schools learned in both or either earlier courses, and focus on creating their own creative voice and building a portfolio .
Below is a selection of some artworks by a range of students over the previous few years, as a part of their course work.
Sculpture (AWP 3O) and Photography (AWQ 4M) are specialized courses offered at CCSS for students to focus on a specific medium for the length of the course.
In sculpture, students explore a range of traditional and contemporary sculpture media, including hand building with earthenware clay, to more contemporary methods.
In photography, students engage in the modern print medium of photography through studying its history, as well techniques, terminology and contemporary use of the medium.
