Visual Art 1202 is designed as a practical foundational course that can be expanded and elaborated upon in studio courses at further grade levels. (Refer to Appendix A4) In Visual Art 1202, students will build upon prior experiences with the elements and principles of design. Students will develop foundational and media specific skills and techniques as they create art using a range of media within the disciplines of drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. Students will learn to reflect upon and critically analyze art work they view and create within contexts spanning a spectrum of time periods and cultures. Through informed, creative art-making and viewing experiences, students will delve into new ideas, materials, and processes for artistic exploration and experimentation.
Visual Art 2202 is a studio-based course that will enable students to further develop their knowledge and skills in visual arts through practical application within five disciplines. Students will apply the creative process, problem-solving skills, and critical analysis in their exploration of a wide range of themes and contexts through studio work in drawing, painting, sculpture and two other disciplines from the options of printmaking, fibre arts, pottery, graphic arts, photography, functional art and public art. Throughout the course, students will reflect upon and learn to critically analyze artwork they view and create within contexts across a spectrum of time periods and cultures. Through informed, creative art-making and viewing experiences, students will delve into new ideas, materials, and processes for artistic exploration and experimentation. The high school studio-based courses are designed to be delivered in homogeneous groupings based on skill level and knowledge. While Visual Art 2202 builds upon Visual Art 1202, Visual Art 1202 is not a prerequisite for Visual Art 2202. Prospective Visual Art 2202 students who did not complete Visual Art 1202 should be able to demonstrate level readiness for course content through teacher pre-assessment.
Visual Art and Design 3202
Visual Art 3202 is an advanced studio-based course that will enable students to further develop their knowledge and skills in visual arts through practical application within five visual art disciplines. Students will apply the creative process, problem-solving skills, and critical analysis in their exploration of a wide range of themes and contexts through advanced studio work in drawing, painting, sculpture and two other elective disciplines (different from those explored in level two) from the options of printmaking, fibre arts, pottery, graphic arts, photography, functional art and public art.
Throughout the course, students will reflect upon and learn to critically analyze artwork they view and create within contexts across a spectrum of time periods and cultures. Through informed, creative art-making and viewing experiences, students will delve into new ideas, materials, and processes for artistic exploration and experimentation.
While Visual Art 3202 builds upon Visual Art 2202, Visual Art 2202 is not a prerequisite for Visual Art 3202. It is expected students considering Visual Art 3202 but who have not completed Visual Art 2202, should be able to demonstrate level readiness for course content through teacher pre-assessment.
