Visual Art 10

In the Saskatchewan Visual Arts Curriculum it is stated that, "In Visual Art 10, students develop ideas for art works by applying and manipulating elements, design principles and image development strategies. They experiment with techniques and compositional strategies using media and art practices such as drawing, painting, printmaking, digital technologies and sculpture. They examine how design and compositional strategies are used to convey ideas including perspectives related to treaties, building of relationships and newcomer experiences. Students create an art work inspired by a Saskatchewan artist, reflect on their own and others’ work, investigate the impact of visual culture on daily life and consider opportunities for lifelong involvement with visual art" (Ministry of Education, 2019, p.2)
