MYP3+options+meeting


 * What does the Art course at St. Francis look like in MYP 4 and beyond?**

It becomes more about you and your personal style, **self-expression**. We study the conceptual, **'the big idea'** behind the works we create.


 * The process of artistic creation based on identity can lead to self-discovery.**

- What shapes individual identities? Why and how do you express and then represent yourself in drawings/paintings? Why and how do you “hide” your feelings and emotions through symbols? How do you convey mood through artistic expressions? How do you interpret feelings in someone´s artwork? Is it a sign of strength/vulnerability to explore and expose your feelings/self though the creation of your own image?



We study **Set-Design** and see how our art can be applied to other areas. This involves the study of communications as it is a multidisciplinary unit with Music and Drama. It is exciting for students to see their work used on stage!





We study Mural Design **'The Narration in Art'** - Art as a means of story-telling.




 * Students get together in groups to develop their own ideas for Mural Design's pertinent to them.**


 * We study 'Signage'**
 * The symbolism of International - Global - Non Verbal Communication**




 * We do a fair amount of drawing in MYP4 too...**
