From Grade 9 to Grade 12 students are maturing, allowing for increasing levels of skill using art media and tools.

An Art Experience art class is relaxed, with teenagers learning from both the teacher and each other, in an environment of guided experimentation and instruction. 

Learning from other artist’s work and developing their own ideas, Art Experience students develop skills in drawing and sketching, using a range of media such as graphite, aquarelle pencils, charcoal, inks and pastels.

Painting is explored using oils, acrylics, mixing mediums, soft pastels, as well as mixed contemporary mediums.

This class is designed to inspire, challenge, develop skill, and keep art fun. Over the term a wide variety of materials will be used, many of which students have not used before.

Experimentation is encouraged! As well as lessons including elements of drawing and painting, we will also discover printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, and many more.

This is a class designed to teach and develop art skills, using a variety of tools and techniques throughout the term. 

Students are encouraged to critique their work and display works that they like.

All levels of ability and experience are welcome to join this class.

Please note: The minimum age for this class is students attending Grade 9 in 2025. Students attending Grade 8 in 2025 will be able to join this class when they begin Grade 9 in 2026.
