The units studied from Prep Senior through to Grade 5 in the visual arts program are designed around the five main elements contained in the visual arts standards:
- The media, techniques, and processes used by artists
- Themes and purposes of art
- The art elements that artists use to communicate their ideas
- How art is connected to history and culture
- How people make judgments about art
Students work with a variety of art media, techniques, and processes ranging from traditional drawing and painting media to Printmaking, Sculpture, Batik and Ceramics. To enrich the students’ understanding of art, they are introduced to an array of artists as they learn about the various facets of art contained within the units of study.
