Grade 10 Visual Arts (AVI2O)

The Ontario Grade 10 Visual Arts course AVI2O has three strands: creating and presenting, reflecting and analysing, and foundations. The museum maps five lessons, through calligraphy, tilework, book illumination, the arabesque and three works read for their use and society.

Draft: these lessons were written with AI help and have not yet been read by a human editor.

Strand A: Creating and Presenting

Applying the creative process, design and a range of materials, and presenting art works (expectations A1 to A3). The museum maps one lesson: the materials, preparation and showing of works.

  1. Materials, preparing a work, and showing it Which materials makers cut, lay and write with, where finished work was shown, and how a pupil earned the right to sign (A3.1, A3.2, A3.3). ObjectCareers × 2

Strand B: Reflecting, Responding, and Analysing

Critical analysis of art works, how they reflect their society, and what visual arts offer in knowledge, skills and careers (expectations B1 to B3). The museum maps two lessons: three works read for use and society, and the calligrapher's craft.

  1. What a work was for, and whose world it shows A domed shrine, a glass mosaic and a written band on cloth, read for their materials, their use and the society that made them (B1.3, B2.1, B2.2). PlaceObjectInvention
  2. Learning a craft: the calligrapher How a calligrapher was trained and licensed, and who practises the art today (B3.1, B3.2). Careers × 2

Strand C: Foundations
