Course Objectives
The primary mission of our department is to foster creativity and critical thinking, cultivate aesthetic sensitivity, promote cultural awareness, and develop effective communication skills. Our goal is to equip students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and positive values and attitudes in the arts. Through engaging in artistic activities, we aim to provide students with opportunities to experience joy, pleasure, and fulfillment while fostering a lifelong interest in the arts.
Collaboration with Other Departments
To enhance the interdisciplinary learning experience, our department actively collaborates with other departments, creating meaningful connections across subjects. Here are some examples of our collaborations:
S1 (Maths and Visual Arts):
In collaboration with the Mathematics department, we integrate concepts such as scale and still life drawing into art projects. Students explore the relationship between mathematical principles and visual aesthetics, creating artwork that incorporates scale and form.
S2 (ICT and Visual Arts):
In collaboration with the ICT department, we engage students in understanding the principles of furniture design. Students learn to blend artistic vision with technological skills by using Tinkercad to design and create virtual models of innovative furniture pieces.
By collaborating with other departments, we aim to provide students with a holistic and integrated learning experience. These collaborations allow students to recognize the connections between different subjects and apply their artistic skills and knowledge in real-world contexts. Additionally, these interdisciplinary projects help students develop transferable skills and a broader understanding of the role of art in various fields, fostering their ability to communicate and collaborate effectively beyond the realm of the arts.
