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)
