Visual Art 30
In the Saskatchewan Visual Arts Curriculum it is stated that, "In Visual Art 30, students purposefully select and manipulate media and image development strategies to express ideas demonstrating personal style and voice. They independently plan and create art works. . . .that demonstrate their ability to innovate and take risks. They use inquiry to create art inspired by Canadian artists whose work responds to socially relevant topics such as sustainability, social justice, diversity, inclusion, resistance and resilience. Students investigate how visual art in Canada can support and build relationships and deepen understanding that we are all Treaty people. They critique art works and reflect on their choice of discipline, content and media in the development of their own voices and styles. Students examine how visual art expressions have evolved over time and continue to inspire change. Student have opportunities to engage with artists and communities to collaborate and build relationships beyond the classroom through visual art experiences." (Ministry of Education, 2019, p.2)
