Art
FRC offers a visual arts program that accommodates students who intend to enter Fine
Arts, other areas of creative arts study or who simply wish to develop their creative
and technical abilities. As the practice has been in the middle years, the school has put together an Art
Supply Kit for students to purchase, which includes all the personal supplies
necessary to complete the required coursework. Cheques are payable at the time of
registration. Provided that the materials are cared for and that any used-up supplies are replaced, this kit
will last students through ART 20G, 30G/S and 40G/S.
Art 20G
This course is open to all students
with or without a previous art background. With teacher direction, students will
participate in two- and three-dimensional art activities.
Art history and art appreciation are introduced.
Students are expected to keep an idea journal in order to support and
develop major class projects. The
emphasis is on creative expression, learning about art in context, using art
language and tools, and valuing artistic
experience.
Art 30G
This course extends and intensifies what was started in ART
20G. The emphasis is on
conceptualization and idea development, as well as understanding art materials
and their design possibilities.
Studio time is an essential component of this course, and students are
expected to do most of their coursework during studio time in class.
Students will begin to develop their own critical evaluation skills
through critiques and discussion.
This course involves self-reflection, written work, and a more detailed
documentation of one’s artistic process and idea development than ART
20G.
Art 30S
This course is designed for students who enjoyed and were
proficient in Art 20G and want to pursue creative expression in greater
depth.. Although the outcomes for
this course are identical to the ART 30G course, this course is intended for
students with a serious interest in art, who are looking to be challenged
creatively. The ART 30S course is
more rigorous and more involved, in order to prepare highly motivated students
for university entrance.
Art 40G
Continued studio work will add to the skills developed in ART
30G, and may include advanced painting, drawing, collage, sculpture or
experimental mixed media works. Art
history and appreciation are continued, with a focus on contemporary
artists. This course is
inquiry-based, and partially student-directed. Art 40G includes critiques, continued
research and artist studies.
Emphasis will be placed on the development of comprehensive, personal
visual statements.
Art 40S
This course is designed for students who enjoyed and were
proficient in Art 30S and want to pursue creative expression in greater
depth.. Although the outcomes for
this course are identical to the ART 40G course, this course is intended for
students with a serious interest in art, who are looking to be challenged
creatively. The ART 40S course is
more rigorous and more involved, in order to prepare highly motivated students
