PTPI's Global Youth Murals Project poses a wonderful introduction to the ways in which children around the world represent their cultures through visual art. Using this collection in the Global Gallery, learners can examine different depictions of culture as an entry point to studying cultures of countries around the world. This activity can be an introductory exercise to social studies or world geography research projects.

This module focuses on the many subtle ways artists convey meaning about the status of individuals in societies through their use of materials, techniques and images. Many of the earliest
societies and cultures have given us insights into their lives and traditions through their art works. Study art works from a variety of cultures and time periods, with a focus on class distinctions as evidenced in the works. Look at traditional symbols of power such as land and wealth, and move to more contemporary aspects such as knowledge and communication. Make comparisons between art works from a variety of cultures and time periods and your own.

Outcome: CP7.10
Create visual art works that express ideas about the importance of place (e.g., relationship to the land, local geology, region, urban/rural landscapes, and environment).

Study of the Canadian Group of Seven
Assignment
1. Students will do and oral presentation about their Group of Seven artist
- Points to include are who, what, where, when, style, types of art, favourite medium of art, how long he belonged to the group,
- Include at least three examples of their art work – books would be awesome (wheatland library, Rossville library, colour printouts from home)
2. Student will complete 2 replicas of their artist. These will be done with water colour, tempra, charcoal or pastel.
3. Students will be prepared to explain the importance of place as given in the above outcome.

Students learn the value of writing and art in science and engineering. They acquire vocabulary that is appropriate for explaining visual art and learn about visual design principles (contrast, alignment, repetition and proximity) and elements (lines, color, texture, shape, size, value and space) that are helpful when making visual aids. A PowerPoint(TM) presentation heightens students' awareness of the connection between art and engineering in order to improve the presentation of results, findings, concepts, information and prototype designs. Students also learn about the science and engineering research funding process that relies on effective proposal presentations, as well as some thermal conductivity / heat flow basics including the real-world example of a heat sink which prepares them for the associated activity in which they focus on creating diagrams to communicate their own collected experimental data.
