Art Curriculum
The aims of art education in our schools are to enable every child to

Experiences within the classroom
In an art classroom, students learn and understand art through art making and art discussion. Students are also engaged in various artistic processes and exposed to a range of media.
Art and Music Week (AMW)
Art and Music Week (AMW) is a week of celebrations of art and music. Various activities are carried out to celebrate students’ learning in art and music.
Museum-based learning (MBL)
Museum-based learning (MBL) is one of the platforms to provide engaging and meaningful ways for students to encounter learning art content. Going to the museum also provides an authentic context for the learning of local art. In addition, the experience will develop in students the competencies and dispositions of an Audience.
