SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
C1. Terminology
By the end of this course, students will:
C1.1 use appropriate terminology related to ele- ments and principles of design when creating and analysing art works (e.g., when comparing the use of line, colour, shape, and contrast in African textiles with those in medieval illuminated manu- scripts; when demonstrating or describing how to create an area of emphasis using colour, contrast, and shape)
C1.2 use appropriate vocabulary to describe techniques, materials, and tools when creating and presenting visual art works (e.g., dry brush; layering; pinhole camera; washes; techniques and tools used to create flipbooks, illuminated manu- scripts, mosaics, stained glass works)
C1.3 identify and describe the stages of the creative process and the critical analysis process (e.g., how reflection relates to the other stages of the creative process)
C2. ConventionsandTechniques
By the end of this course, students will:
C2.1 demonstrate an understanding of a variety of techniques that artists use to achieve specific effects (e.g., the use of atmospheric perspective to create the perception of depth, the use of additive and subtractive sculpture to explore space and form, the use of layering to provide a sense of dimensionality)
Teacher prompt: “What techniques could you use to create a sense of depth in your painting?”
C2.2 demonstrate an understanding of several conventions used in visual art works (e.g., exaggeration, metaphor, simile, symbols, synectics; conventions associated with heroic, narrative, naturalistic, and satirical works)
Teacher prompt: “How could you use exagger- ation in a drawing or sculpture to satirize a celebrity?”
C3. Responsible Practices
By the end of this course, students will:
C3.1 identify legal and ethical issues associated with visual arts (e.g., copyright; ownership of virtual and intellectual property; issues related to cultural sensitivity), and demonstrate legal and ethical practices when creating, presenting, and/or promoting art works (e.g., seek permission before incorporating copyrighted materials in their art work; show respect for intellectual property; demonstrate sensitivity when using patterns or conventions from other cultures in their art work)
Teacher prompts: “Under what circumstances might it be acceptable to use a part of another artist’s work in your own art work? If you did so, would you need to acknowledge that artist in any way?” “If you base your art work on everyday objects or public icons, do you need to provide an indication of the source of your inspiration? How would you do so?” “What is the difference between appropriation and plagiarism?” “What does the term intellectual property mean?”
