Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Page Content WELCOME TO VISUAL ARTS!
Within the visual arts courses, visual literacy expands into a broader perception – turning seeing into vision, translating reality into symbols and connections, and enhancing all other learning experiences. Learning in, about, and through visual arts helps students use their imagination and make creative choices to communicate their ideas, observations, feelings, and values.

Students learn how art works construct and record the history, values, and beliefs of various societies and cultures. Through experiencing a wide range of art works, including the rich heritage of Canadian art, students come to understand and appreciate the range and significance of artistic expression.
LOOK AT OUR STUDENTS' WORK!
GOALS:
Creating and Presenting: Applying the creative process is a necessary part of designing and producing original art works. Students use the stages of the creative process to generate ideas for, plan, produce, and present works of art. They explore technologies and the elements and principles of design to create art works for a variety of purposes.
Reflecting, Responding, and Analysing: Through the critical analysis process students interpret and assess the effectiveness of their own and others’ art works. By learning how art works reflect both social and personal values, students develop a deeper understanding of themselves, past and present societies, and the communities in which they live.
Foundations: Students develop their understanding of conventions, techniques, and processes that people use to produce visual art works. They develop the vocabulary necessary for describing and evaluating their own and others’ art works.
