SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
C1. Terminology
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 demonstrate an understanding of the elements and principles of design, and use appropriate terminology related to elements and principles when creating and analysing art works (e.g., when explaining how a designer has used particular elements and principles to draw attention to a product in an advertisement)
C1.2 explain terminology related to techniques, materials, and tools, and use this terminology appropriately when creating and presenting
art works (e.g., techniques and tools from various cultures [East Asian, East and West African] used in textile design; silkscreening; stencilling; washes; type fonts)
C1.3 identify and describe the stages of the cre- ative process and the critical analysis process using appropriate terminology, and explain how these processes are used to create and analyse art works (e.g., the stages of the creative process used to make a print; the stages of the critical analysis process a gallery owner would use to evaluate the print)
C2. ConventionsandTechniques
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 demonstrate an understanding of a wide variety of techniques that artists use to achieve specific effects (e.g., the use of depth and angle in an engraving to convey a sense of movement)
Teacher prompts: “What techniques have Japanese artists used to create woodblock prints? What effects can be achieved using these tech- niques?” “What techniques do installation artists use to get the attention of the viewer?”
C2.2 demonstrate an understanding of a variety of conventions used in visual arts (e.g., exagger- ation, juxtaposition, metaphor, simile, symbols, synectics; conventions associated with heroic, narrative, naturalistic, and satirical art works; conventions associated with imitationalism)
Teacher prompt: “What are some examples of the effective use of exaggeration in comics or graphic novels to provide social commentary?”
C3. Responsible Practices
By the end of this course, students will:
C3.1 describe legal and ethical issues associated with the use of images, materials, and property (both physical and virtual) in the production of art works (e.g., copyright; ownership of virtual and intellectual property; issues associated with cultural appropriation), and demonstrate legal and ethical practices when creating, presenting, and/or promoting art works (e.g., use accepted citation conventions when crediting other people’s work; download images from authorized sources)
Teacher prompts: “Why is it inappropriate to incorporate a corporate logo or copyrighted character into your design without getting per- mission to do so?” “What ethical issues have you encountered with respect to appropriation in visual art? How have you addressed these issues?”
