Visual Arts 11 incorporates and extends
concepts, materials and techniques introduced in Art 10. Students will have the
opportunity to revisit processes in greater depth through more specialized
independent study and exploration. Visual Art 11 fosters creative thinking
and problem-solving as students are encouraged to experiment with mediums for
expressive purposes. As visual skills develop, students become capable of
responding to and creating visual images that express ideas and emotions
surrounding a range of personal and social issues. All of these opportunities
contribute to the aesthetic, emotional, social and intellectual growth of
students.
General Curriculum Outcomes
Students will be expected to:
- Explore, challenge, develop and express ideas
using the skills, language, techniques and processes of the arts.

independently expressive products in the arts for a range of audiences and

individuals and cultural groups in local and global contexts, and value the
arts as a record of human experiences and expression.

societies and environments.

assignments, journal) and the remainder consists of written assignments and a
process exam to be completed in class time at the end of the semester.
