Art

The high-quality artwork displayed around Gleneagle demonstrates the success of our visual arts students. We offer a selection of courses at each grade level so that students with a variety of interests and abilities can succeed by creating artwork of which they are proud. Students will learn fundamental techniques and how to express themselves visually while developing artistically. Grade 9 courses are designed to provide a basic overview of skills and techniques as well as a working knowledge of artistic terms and principles. In Grade 10, 11 and 12, students can choose from a variety of general and specialized senior art courses. This allows both the new and experienced art student a program suited to their individual interests and needs. The JumpstArt program is an exciting option for Grade 9 students seeking an in-depth art experience that thematically integrates art with their Humanities courses. The Artistic Practice 12 program (formerly known as Art Careers) is unique to Gleneagle and provides guidance for serious Grade 12 art students as they plan and prepare for post-secondary entrance to an art-related program. Take the opportunity to develop your creativity, learn how to decipher your visual environment and try a variety of art mediums. Take an art course and see where it takes you!
