Grade 8 Art
The Doors Open Alberta Edukit will provide activities, resources and perspectives that address some of the needs of the Grade 8 Art curriculum. The Grade 8 Art curriculum states the students will:
- investigate form and structure of natural and man-made objects as sources of images
- compare varying interpretations of natural forms and man-made artefacts through time and across cultures
- consider the impact of man-made structures upon human activity in the modern world.
