ART621A - Visual Arts Academic – Grade 12

 

This course builds upon the skills, concepts, media, techniques, ideas and experiences in ART501A. Students will reflect on and share how the above is combined in their artwork to create and express a strong visual statement/message. Students will critically view artwork using the skills of a persuasive argument. They will examine art and artists of the Modern and Contemporary art movements and apply this knowledge to their artwork. Students will be expected to use their artistic statement and artwork as a guide to select an artist/culture/artistic style to complete a rigorous academic research project. Students will be expected to present the results of their academic research in both a visual and written form. The academic research project would have a community-based learning component. This course has a strong emphasis on self-criticism and working independently. Students will continue to create, collect, record, explore, and reflect in their workbook and portfolio on a regular basis. Students will be expected to reassess their artist statement periodically throughout the course.
