Visual art
This profile is intended for students who are interested in the study of ART. Emphasis will be placed on:
- Individual development
- Originality
- Broadening skills
- Problem solving
- Reflection
Visual art profile students will have the unique opportunity to build their creative, imaginative and observation skills, while learning to appreciate art. Through individual and teamwork projects, the heart of this profile is hands-on; drawing, painting, 3D work, assemblage and mixed media; with an introduction to multimedia.
Student self-reflection will help them identify which techniques, gestures and ideas are best suited for each project. There will also be an appreciation component; with museum and gallery visits, complemented by observation and sketching outings.
Students will be expected to frequently reflect upon their work; identifying their strengths and limitations to improve and find direction in their work.
