Teachers understand that there are many layers of content, outcomes, skills, and experiences that our students require throughout their educational journey to become competent 21st century learners. Teachers have must dos, such as curricular outcomes and assessment, but there are also many additional elements to provide enrichment to learning for students. All of these layers can become overwhelming if only considered from the perspective of teaching these elements in silos. GAP or Grade Alike Planning in Sun West has offered opportunities to teachers to reimagine these elements by infusing them together. The GAP Infusion Poster illustrates a visual of this philosophy where many elements are blended thoughtfully together to meet many learning outcomes, provide many opportunities, and give students' voice and choice in their learning by exploring their interests and learning needs.

Lesson Rationale: This lesson is important because it gets the students to explore different mediums of art. It also gets them to learn about artists that are part of Saskatchewan and what types of images they make. The students get to explore working outdoors while drawing and creating a 2D image of an object that they may have never payed much attention too until this assignment. They also get to go deeper with this, by taking a photo of a scene they come across that captures their attention, not on school property. This assignment allows for the students to be able to feel comfortable sharing their images with the rest of their peers, without feeling like they may be judged. They get to be in a safe sharing environment. This assignment also give students the confidence to believe in themselves that they can create an object or scene that they see in real-life. It gives them the confidence to see that they too can be like Saskatchewan artists and can create images that incorporate Saskatchewan.

Art and culture have played a central role in every successful movement for social change. Art can inspire, educate, and spur the imagination beyond the realm of what politics can do. Social justice posters, in particular, are powerful living reminders of the ongoing worldwide struggles for peace and justice.
