Creative Arts

The aim of Creative Arts at HCK is to enable students to gain increasing understanding and accomplishment in the visual arts, music, drama and dance artforms. In addition to classroom experiences students participate in weekly Creative Arts lessons with a specialist teacher.

 

  • In Visual Arts, students develop their knowledge, skills and understanding in making artworks

informed by their investigations of the world as subject matter, use of expressive forms, and

consideration of the audience for their works. They also develop their knowledge, skills and

understanding in appreciating their own artworks and those of others, recognising some relationships

between artists, artworks, audiences and how the world is interpreted.

  • In Music, students develop knowledge, skills and understanding in performing music of different

styles and from different times and cultures by singing, playing and moving, and in organising sound

into musical compositions using musical concepts. They also develop their knowledge, skills and

understanding in listening to and discussing their own music and that of others.

  • In Drama, students develop knowledge, skills and understanding in making drama collaboratively by

taking on roles and creating imagined situations shaped by the elements of drama, and in performing

drama by actively engaging in drama forms. They also develop their knowledge, skills and

understanding in appreciating their own dramatic works and those of others.

  • In Dance, students develop knowledge, skills and understanding in composing their own dances using

the elements and contexts of dance and in performing their own dances and the dances of others

from different times and cultures. They also develop knowledge, skills and understanding in

appreciating their own dances and those of others.” (Creative Arts K-6 Syllabus, p.7)
