Description

Drawing & Painting

Students explore methods of visual image-making, using a variety of drawing, sketching, and painting techniques inspired by reference, observation, and imagination. Purposeful play is used with the youngest students to develop the use of tools such as pencil, marker, pastel, paint, and ink, as well as life-skills such as confident self-expression, understanding feelings, and effective listening skills. As students progress, understanding is deepened through increased self-direction, discussion of artists, art history and the use of symbols, abstraction, and representation.
Comics & CartooningStudents learn how to tell captivating illustrated stories using the most fundamental principles of visual art including bold lines, simple shapes, and strong colour choices. Students learn to apply simplification and exaggeration to communicate their stories with clarity and humour. Working with pen, pencil, marker, and ink, students learn to create sequential action, movement, story, and sound through the graphic conventions of cartooning and comics. Students also learn panel layout, character sheets, speech bubbles, and hand-lettering.
