Option Courses
Art: 

ÉVA grade 8 Art provides a more advanced focus on the elements learned in the grade 7 Art program while also adding larger scale drawings and projects. Students will create artwork in a variety of artistic media (e.g. painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, print-making). Emphasis will be placed on skill, knowledge and idea development through the use of an idea journal (sketchbook). Students will be exposed to historical and cultural examples of art to develop their critiquing skills, explore new artistic media and investigate the principles and elements of art used by other artists. Using this new knowledge, students will be encouraged to be more independent in their idea generation and explore how they can represent certain ideas and themes through their art.

Band:
