Welcome to the Expressive Arts Department
The arts are a form of human expression through activity.
They contribute to a school curriculum by offering a distinctive way of learning where seeing, feeling, hearing, thinking and creating are combined in a powerful form of visual, aural and tactile affective communication.
Through the arts, students working both cooperatively and individually have opportunities to research, identify and discuss issues; to provide insights, opinions, solutions and resolutions; and reflect on, appreciate and evaluate artwork.
MYP arts promotes an understanding of how traditions, histories and beliefs have influenced the way in which works of art are formed and valued in society. As a result, the arts integrate history, geography and literature in achieving this end. This will enable students to develop insights into, and respect for their own and other cultures.
