This course follows the Basic Education Core Curriculum focusing on art and design with a wide-ranging discipline that brings together skills and intellectual thought processes from across the curriculum, learners will also become experimental, reflective, critical and decisive thinkers who are able to express themselves within a range of open themes. This personal and autonomous approach challenges negative views of failure or lack of natural artistic ability and allows learners to reflect upon and appreciate their progress, both as an artist and as a creative thinker. They will view the work of others with increasing curiosity and make connections between different perspectives, different genres and between art that has been created in different historical, geographic and cultural contexts. They will embrace art’s potential for expressing things that cannot be captured in words and the links that exist between human feeling and creative output.
