Les pratiques clés incluent l'encouragement à l'expérimentation de matériaux et de techniques variés, la promotion d'une approche « processus plutôt que produit » et la promotion de l'exploration de compositions structurelles, de l'expression personnelle et d'un engagement intuitif dans l'activité créatrice. La peinture abstraite aborde des concepts tels que la composition, l'équilibre, le rythme et le mouvement. Elle présente également les principales sources globales soit historiques et/ou contemporaines des références abstraites. L'enseignement et les discussions se font dans les deux langues officielles. Les compétences linguistiques minimales recommandées sont de pouvoir comprendre, lire et interagir oralement en classe dans la langue seconde officielle.
