SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
A1. The Creative Process
By the end of this course, students will:
A1.1 use a variety of strategies, individually and/or collaboratively, to generate and explore ideas and to develop plans for the creation of art works (e.g., use brainstorming, research, and/or checklists to generate and explore a range of original ideas; reflect on and filter ideas to select a suitable one to serve as the basis for their art work; use diagrams, notes, and/or outlines to help them develop detailed plans that reflect the stages of the creative process; reflect on and revise their plans on the basis of peer- and self-assessment)
Teacher prompts: “In what ways do external factors and personal experience influence the creative ideas we generate?” “Does your plan clearly address how you will approach each stage of the creative process?”
A1.2 apply the appropriate stages of the creative process to produce two- and three-dimensional art works using a variety of traditional and contemporary media (e.g., explore various media and techniques, and determine which ones are most appropriate for their planned art work; reflect on their work at each stage of the creative process; use a variety of strategies to gather feed- back on their preliminary work, and refine their work on the basis of feedback and self-assessment)
Teacher prompts: “How can you apply the results of your experiments with media to enhance the creativity of your work?” “Why are reflection and revision crucial to the plan- ning and production of your art work?”
A1.3 document their use of each stage of the cre- ative process in a portfolio (e.g., include notes, checklists, rough sketches, preliminary versions, and final products to provide evidence of planning, exploration, experimentation, production, reflection, and revision), and refer to this portfolio to reflect on how effectively they have used the creative process
Teacher prompts: “How does your portfolio provide evidence of the informed development of original ideas?” “What might you add to your portfolio to document your experiments with different media?” “After reviewing your use of the creative process, how would you improve your approach to the planning or production stages?”
By the end of this course, students will:
A2.1 use a combination of elements and princi- ples of design to create art works that express personal feelings and communicate specific emotions to an audience (e.g., use colour and line to suggest strong emotion; use harmony and unity to convey a sense of balance and peace)
Teacher prompts: “How can you manipulate the elements of value, form, and balance to communicate fear or anger?” “How does Emily Carr communicate emotion through her use of elements and principles in Vanquished? How could you adapt her approach for use in one
of your art works?”
