Students will examine the ways that artists use the aesthetics of mapping and representations to communicate ideas about space and location. Following the guided collection of visual, spatial and personal information that occurs during routine explorations of their environment, students will create a work that layers and abstracts visual information using maps as an underlying structure. Through project-based learning, students will research, collect data, interpret and communicate their ideas and experiences about space and place. A cycle of development, feedback, revision and reflection will guide these investigations. Teachers may choose to work with their physical education colleague to link this art-making experience with the geocaching cornerstone.…
It is a city filled with wonder and dreams; a city stitched into a pattern of hundreds of cultures; a city both complicated and simple; a city that shines like a bright northern star. This astonishing place is called Toronto. This is where I set roots after I got off the giant silver bird, under a borderless sky, and where my dreams I hope, will soar. Such a fantastic place it is, with beautiful scenery throughout the seasons, so many people wanting to help and join hands with each other, whatever their colour happens to be. It is this city of Toronto that opened my eyes, my mind, and where my world truly began.…

This experience truly fascinated me as I was able to take all of my…

YD Square was previously called Wilton street. The place has been historically known as the Centre of a Community as well. Upon the approval of Toronto City Council, YD Square project was started in 1998. The project was jointly involved with not only the City of Toronto, but also the downtown Yonge street businesses and resident associations. Then, the construction of the new YD squares was completed in 2003, and the first public-private partnership called the board of management for YD Square was established to manage the public square in Canada. Because Yonge-Dundas Square, outdoor piazza, promotes plenty of free events and entertainment to bring people together in the heart of downtown Toronto, the community should develop strategic plans for public safety and seasonality.…
