Yukon First Nations Art
About
The Yukon First Nations Arts certificate program (YFN Arts) consists of University Access Pathway courses in English and math and art courses in contemporary and traditional Indigenous visual arts and crafts. The art modules will be delivered in a sequential manner to ensure students’ learning experiences build on and further their artistic abilities.
Throughout the program, students will learn from “hands-on†instruction in beadwork, sewing, traditional footwear, carving, and fine craftwork. The Small Craft & Product Development module will encourage students to perfect their skills, and apply them to the production of high quality traditional arts and contemporary arts and crafts. After completion of the art modules, students will have the skill set to design and produce unique, innovative products.
The art courses will be supplemented with a career exploration module that will allow students to explore the knowledge, essential skills and personal entrepreneurial characteristics required to manage and promote their art careers.
