AVI 3O

Visual Arts: AVI 3O
This course focuses on studio activities in one or more of the visual arts. Students will create art works that explore a wide range of subject matter, and will evaluate art works, providing grounds for their aesthetic judgements. They will also examine historical and cultural contexts of Western art ( including Canadian art) and art from various world cultures to support their study of specific media.

AVI 3O focuses on these key expectations from the Ministry of Education’s curriculum:

• explain how the application of the elements and principles of design supports the concepts and ideas expressed in their creative work;

• demonstrate an understanding of various aspects of selected works in Western and non-Western art, applied design, and crafts, both historical and contemporary, that have particular relevance for their own studio focus and interests;

• produce a body of creative work that represents a progressive record of their studio development in both technique and expression;

• produce fine art, applied design, or craft works that explore specific themes or issues, using appropriate subject matter, techniques and designs;

• evaluate works of art orally and in writing, following standard procedures in critical analysis;

• explain the effect of social, political, economic, and other influences, including their personal beliefs and experiences, on their own art works.

Your final mark will be calculated based on the Ministry of Education’s Achievement Chart for the course as follows:
Knowledge/ Understanding: 20%; Thinking: 20%; Communication: 20%; Application: 40%

70% of the final mark will be based on work completed throughout the course. 30% of the final mark will be based on the final evaluation.
