Brief description of the Unit

This intermediate unit builds on the foundational skills developed in the first year, helping students deepen their understanding of processes across creative disciplines within the visual arts. Students will expand their knowledge of materials, tools, and techniques, focusing on practical skill-building and creative practices. The unit encourages students to refine their technical and conceptual abilities while reflecting on how their work and artistic responses contribute to the development of their artistic processes. Through a range of collaborative approaches, students will work together to develop projects that may culminate in exhibitions, exchanges, or other shared outcomes with both internal and external collaborators.
