AVI1O
– Visual Arts, Grade 9, Open
1 CREDIT
In this course you will explore a variety of materials and methods of creating art. You will try everything
from stone carving to quilting… and, of course, you will do some printmaking, painting and drawing
too. You will have the opportunity to try out these different ways of creating to see which processes
capture your imagination and help you to express your visual ideas. To start the year off, you will take
part in a Grade 9 art excursion to an amazing outdoor sculpture centre where you will view hundreds
of beautiful works of art and meet artists who work in stone. This excursion will inspire and inform your
stone carving back at Havergal and help you to see in three dimensions. Throughout the year you will
develop your art skills, learn to take risks, learn about yourself and experience the joy of exploration as
you are guided through the creative process!

AVI2O
– Visual Arts, Grade 10, Open
1 CREDIT
Have you ever wondered how jewelry or glass artists work? Have you visited the One of a Kind Craft
Show and been inspired? AVI2O is now focused on developing your design skills through a variety of
craft and fine art projects. For example, in this course you will have the opportunity to work with a
silversmith to create a unique piece of jewelry, and you will learn how to shape and design with glass,
using our glass fusing kiln to fabricate amazingly colourful and delicate glass objects. If you interested
in fashion and fabric, this course will invite you to use your creativity to design and create pieces of
wearable art. As well, you will improve your drawing, printmaking and painting skills through a series of
sketchbook design projects that connect with the craft processes you are exploring. We invite you to
bring your individuality and imagination to this new version of Grade 10 Art.
Open to students in Grades 10 to 12.
Note: This course focuses on studio activities in one or more of the visual arts.
