The Arts

This group includes visual arts, music and theatre, with emphasis placed on practical production by our students and exploration of a range of creative work in a global context.  Students are brought into contact with the art forms and aesthetic values of other cultures as well as their own, and are helped to develop perceptions between ideas and art. They are also encouraged to identify particular creative abilities and to master techniques appropriate to that form of expression.

In addition, the course:

• organizes learning around the creative cycle—a dynamic, ongoing process of sensing, planning, creating and evaluating art, and one in which all the senses are involved
• encourages creative energy, communication, interaction and reflection
• aims to help the student become a developing artist—one who is able to assess the level of skill and target the areas that need development
• seeks to acquaint young people with the creations of men and women whose works have proven to be of enduring worth. (www.ibo.org)
