This course will enable increased autonomy in subject matter, concepts, materials, and approaches in sculpture within a framework of options presented by the instructor. Students may work with a variety of sculpture materials, and/or hybrid sculptural practices.

This course integrates painting with more individual studio interests through open-ended projects. Students will be guided to explore contemporary and extended approaches to painting through experimentation with materials, processes, and concepts, recognizing that all choices communicate meaning and build content.

This course will engage students in more complex concepts and processes in sculpture, exploring the technical, formal, and interpretational strategies in processes and materials such as wood, metal, ceramic and/or plaster casting. This course will prepare students for more advanced and self-determining approaches.

This course will engage students in intermediate level concepts and processes in painting, including increased knowledge in colour theory, materials, techniques, support preparation and compositional strategies. Subject matter may incorporate representational, abstract and/or non-objective painting. Projects, critiques, and discussion will build knowledge of painting vocabulary and prepare students for more advanced and self-determining approaches.

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of sculpture. Students will focus on the formal, material, and compositional strategies of three-dimensional form building and extend their knowledge of form, mass, volume, scale, and space. Material explorations will range from everyday materials, to cardboard, and soft sculpture to clay. Safe handling protocols will be practiced.

This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of painting. Students will focus on basic paint handling, application, colour mixing, and support preparation for acrylic and water-mixable oil paint. Compositionally students will focus on still lives, landscape, abstraction, and portraiture. Students will further develop their knowledge of colour theory and learn pigment identification, tool, and studio protocols.

The Agriculture Operations Work Placement I Course is designed to provide participants with introductory practical training and hands-on experience in grain farming and/or livestock farming. Students are responsible for securing an approved work placement; the work experience is monitored and evaluated by the employer.

This course invites students to reflect on the fundamental principles required for efficient and sustainable farm operations. Students will explore the role pest management and pesticide application play in modern farming. Emphasis is placed on pest identification, management strategies, and safety.

This course builds on the mechanical knowledge gained in AG1000 to focus on the broader application of technology and machinery in modern agriculture. Students will investigate the application of machinery and its maintenance as well as the optimization of farm systems.

This course aligns with the First Period Technical Training Curriculum for the Agricultural Equipment Technician Trade.
