This course enables students to create media art works by exploring new media, emerging
technologies such as digital animation, and a variety of traditional art forms such as film,
photography, video, and visual arts. Students will acquire communications skills that are
transferable beyond the media arts classroom and develop an understanding of responsible practices related to the creative process. Students will develop the skills necessary
to create and interpret media art works.
This course enables students to develop their skills in producing and presenting art
by introducing them to new ideas, materials, and processes for artistic exploration and
experimentation. Students will apply the elements and principles of design when exploring
the creative process. Students will use the critical analysis process to reflect on and interpret
art within a personal, contemporary, and historical context.
This course focuses on the development of media arts skills through the production of art works involving traditional and emerging technologies, tools, and techniques such as new media, computer animation, and web environments. Students will explore the evolution of media arts as an extension of traditional art forms, use the creative process to produce effective media art works, and critically analyse the unique characteristics of this art form. Students will examine the role of media artists in shaping audience perceptions of identity, culture, and values.
This course enables students to further develop their knowledge and skills in visual arts.
Students will use the creative process to explore a wide range of themes through studio
work that may include drawing, painting, sculpting, and printmaking, as well as the
creation of collage, multimedia works, and works using emerging technologies. Students
will use the critical analysis process when evaluating their own work and the work of
others. The course may be delivered as a comprehensive program or through a program
focused on a particular art form (e.g., photography, video, computer graphics, information design).
This course emphasizes the refinement of media arts skills through the creation of a
thematic body of work by applying traditional and emerging technologies, tools, and
techniques such as multimedia, computer animation, installation art, and performance art.
Students will develop works that express their views on contemporary issues and will
create portfolios suitable for use in either career or postsecondary education applications.
Students will critically analyse the role of media artists in shaping audience perceptions
of identity, culture, and community values.
This course focuses on enabling students to refine their use of the creative process
when creating and presenting two- and three-dimensional artworks using a variety of
traditional and emerging media and technologies. Students will use the critical analysis
process to deconstruct artworks and explore connections between art and society. The
studio program enables students to explore a range of materials, processes, and techniques
that can be applied in their own art production. Students will also make connections
between various works of art in personal, contemporary, historical, and cultural contexts.
