Welcome to the Grade 10 Art Page

Course Description

This course is exploratory in nature, offering an overview of visual arts as a foundation for further study. Students will become familiar with the elements and principles of design and the expressive qualities of various materials by using a range of media, processes, techniques, and styles. Students will use the creative and critical analysis processes and will interpret art within a personal, contemporary, and historical context. (Ministry of Education, The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9 and 10, The Arts, 2010)
