CP4.7
Create visual art works that express own ideas and draw on sources of inspiration from Saskatchewan.
Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Pose questions about Saskatchewan and determine ways to investigate the questions individually and/or collectively through visual art (e.g., How could we use the land or geography of Saskatchewan, or our neighbourhood, as inspiration for our art work? Where will we find our research information? How have other artists represented similar ideas?).

(b)

Collaborate with other students to plan, document, and share the results of the visual art inquiry (e.g., portfolios of works in progress, photographs, art exhibitions).

(c)

Use research, including guided Internet searches, as part of the inquiry process.

Discuss how artists are often influenced by cultural and artistic traditions, and consider incorporating heritage or artistic conventions in own work.

Create the illusion of three dimensions through drawing observations of the Saskatchewan environment.

(f)

Describe various sources of ideas for visual art such as memory, research, observation, feelings, or imagination.

(g)

Record ideas for visual art to use as research and inspiration for own work (e.g., visual journals, sketchbooks, learning logs, scanning favourite images on the computer).

(h)

Recognize accidental discoveries in own work and put them to use, where appropriate.

(i)

Discuss how own art works express ideas about self and Saskatchewan in unique ways, and describe how problem solving and personal reflection are important parts of the creative process.
