Visual Art

Curriculum

  • This curriculum is designed based on DBAE (Discipline-Based Art Education) from the American art education theories. It has four learning areas covering aesthetics, artistic criticism, art history and art creation. The curriculum works in a spiral form, enabling students to be repeatedly exposed to a spectrum of art forms, such as sketching, water-colour, sculpture, woodcut and Chinese painting. It is to raise students’ artistic level and widen their artistic horizon.
  • Moreover, we stress on having students learn about the world-renowned artists and art trends from art history. Through means such as “observation”, “description”, “analysis”, “explanation” and “evaluation”, we let students perceive and interpret the messages conveyed by the visual works. These are all to enable learners to understand the world’s art development, and to evaluate and praise artworks
