Four Core Learning ObjectivesÂ
The four core learning objectives of Visual Arts – cultivating creativity and imagination, developing skills and artistic processes, fostering art appreciation competency, and understanding art contexts – are interrelated and mutually complementary. They provide direction and focus for the school’s overall curriculum planning, and serve as the primary learning goals for students’ Visual Arts studies.
Cultivate Creativity and Imagination
Through active engagement in art appreciation and creation, students develop innovative and distinctive approaches, while enhancing their imagination, creativity and expressive capabilities.
 2. Develop Skills and Artistic Processes
Students create artwork hands-on by applying visual language, materials and techniques. Throughout the process of artistic creation and idea expression, they build hand-eye-mind coordination and develop a proactive attitude of continuous exploration and experimentation.
 3. Foster Competency in Art Appreciation
Students respond to and interpret artworks using critical appreciation vocabulary from both emotional and rational perspectives, cultivating their critical thinking and multi-perspective analysis skills.
 4. Understand Art Contexts
Students comprehend the meanings and values of visual artworks by examining personal and collective contexts, including individual, social, cultural and historical dimensions.
