THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 11 AND 12 | The Arts
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 demonstrate an understanding of the ele- ments and principles of design, and use termi- nology related to these elements and principles correctly and appropriately when creating or analysing art works (e.g., when describing how they have used elements and principles in a sculpture to convey a sense of movement)
C1.2 explain terminology related to a variety of techniques, materials, and tools (e.g., additive and subtractive techniques, blazing, gesso, intaglio, layering, palette knife, scumbling, transfers, single-lens reflex [SLR] cameras, software used to edit digital photographs), and use this terminolo- gy correctly and appropriately when creating, analysing, and/or presenting art works
C1.3 using appropriate terminology, explain the creative process and describe in detail the critical analysis process, with particular reference to the role of deconstruction in the latter process
Teacher prompt: “What kinds of decisions about materials, techniques, and style does the artist have to make when deciding to create an
art work? What kinds of information does the viewer need to explore when trying to decon- struct the art work?”
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 demonstrate an understanding of a wide variety of techniques that artists use to achieve a range of specific effects (e.g., techniques used to create the illusion of depth and perspective and to create texture on different surfaces; the use of additive and subtractive sculpture, layering, posi- tive and negative space, and relief to create effects)
C2.2 demonstrate an understanding of a variety of conventions used in visual arts (e.g., allegory, expressive exaggeration, juxtaposition, synectics; conventions associated with heroic, narrative, naturalistic, propaganda, realistic, and satirical art), and explain how they are used in different types of art works
Teacher prompt: “Why is allegory often used in propaganda art or works of social or political criticism?”
By the end of this course, students will:
C3.1 demonstrate an understanding of legal and ethical issues related to the appropriation of images, materials, or ideas, or to the display of art works (e.g., issues related to censorship, to the appropriate and inappropriate display of art works), and apply legal and ethical practices when appropriating images, materials, and/or ideas
