Course Description: The course emphasizes the development of knowledge and skills required for the
production of media art works. Students will develop an appreciation of the history and theory associated with
the design process. Students will maintain a portfolio of their media artwork.
Big Ideas (overall learning outcomes for the course):
● Design is a purposeful act of creativity with an intended goal or outcome. It requires intent and an understanding
of visual design concepts and techniques.
● The audience plays an important role in the design process. An understanding of the targeted demographic must
be recognized and understood.
● Media knowledge and competence is required in making constructive design choices.
● Media experimentation leads to more effectively solving design challenges.
Achievement Categories: Student learning is
assessed and evaluated with respect to the following
four categories of knowledge and skills.
Knowledge and Understanding: 25%
Communication: 25%
Thinking: 25 %
Application: 25%
Assessment and Evaluation: Formative assessments are used to improve student learning by providing varied
opportunities to demonstrate an understanding of course expectations in preparation for summative evaluations.
Summative evaluations test groups of key expectations. Failure to complete a summative evaluation may result in
the expectations of the course not being met and the credit not being granted.

For Art Class You Will Need
1.
A Visual Art program is an expensive program to operate. Basic materials
and supplies are paid for through school budget. We aim to conserve,
reuse and recycle as much as possible,1n an effort to keep expenses to a
minimum. WSS would like to provide higher quality materials to our
Art students. An enhancement fee of $10.00 ($20.00 grade 12) allows us
to provide materials to the student that are of higher quality and greater
variety, enhancing their artistic experience. Please make cheques payable to
“Westside Secondary School”. Cash will also be accepted. Receipts given.
2.
Each art student must have a portfolio. It is up to the student to gather
materials to construct this folder, or to purchase one. The portfolio is
used to store work at school as well as to transport work safely from home
to school. The portfolio should be constructed of firm cardboard. have
handles, and have side supports so that work does not fall out. The folder
should be covered in the student’s choice of material (wallpaper, wrapping
paper, paint, magazine collage etc.) The student’s name should be clearly
displayed on the front. The folder should be no smaller than 20”x 26”.
This portfolio can be used throughout their high school art career.
3.
All art students must have a sketchbook. The sketchbook will be routinely
used in class and will be collected for marking periodically. The minimum
size of the sketchbook should be 8”xl0” and should have a minimum of
50 pages. The student is responsible for purchasing or making their own
sketchbook. The school sells sketchbooks (9”xl2” hardcover, spiral bound)
for $10.00.(school cost).
Students will be given a supply box to be used to keep pencils, erasers etc. This supply box is the property of WSS
and will be returned to WSS at the end of the semester. Supply boxes are to be kept in the classroom at all times.
Students will be given space to store their supply boxes, portfolios, notebooks
and sketchbooks in the classroom. It is the responsibility of the student to
ensure that these materials are with them, in the classroom, each day.
Please note: Should a student fall behind on assignments, the art rooms/supplies are
available at lunchtimes. before school and often after school, to complete work.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for taking an active role in your child’s education.
