School-based Curriculum Design
  • In regular classes, students at each grade level learn about different Visual Elements and Design Principles, then apply these through various mediums (such as painting, drawing, design, printmaking, crafts, sculpture, and media arts) to create individual works.
  • Develop thematic and Integrated Arts curricula to foster students’ creativity and imagination, broadening their exposure to different aspects of art.
  • Cultivate students’ ability to appreciate art by learning about various artists and cultures, thereby enhancing their visual perception, generic skills, and aesthetic abilities.
  • Utilize information technology as a learning tool, supporting creation through e-learning platforms and applications that allow students to conduct research, appreciate artworks, and exchange creative ideas.
