The Course

| Provides students with experiences in which their intellectual, practical and aesthetic abilities are focused in creative and imaginative work; |
|
| Encourages students to evaluate, appreciate, describe and draw conclusions about their own work and that of other students; |
|
| Promotes the use of both two and three-dimensional materials and processes. |
