Grade 12
- GRADE 12 ART - AVI4M1:
- This course is the completion of the
advanced level program, intended for students continuing on to
further education. The studio/design and the history/criticism
components each constitute 50 percent of the allotted course time.
In the studio component, students select one of painting,
sculpture, photography, or printmaking, which they then explore in
depth through the progressive resolution of the technical and
artistic problems of the medium. Students use their study of
drawing to support and expand their evolving ideas within their
selected option. The concentration of the course should assist
students in resolving artistic problems and in analyzing their
work critically in relation to the work of classmates and the
artistic tradition. The history/criticism component provides a
sequential overview based on key works from the history of art,
which will stimulate discussions and supplement the studio work.
Verbal and written skills will be developed through papers,
presentations, and research. Students are expected to prepare a
proposal of work for planning the course, develop an information
file, and prepare artworks and drawings. The history component
involves a written paper, cumulative tests, and a written
examination.
