Arts

Art is taught as a spiral curriculum woven around artistic principles, concepts, and habits, growing in complexity from year to year. It is one of the essential subjects in the American curriculum, focusing on developing students' creativity, critical thinking skills, and cultural understanding. At 21K School, art classes are full of exploration, discovery and fun. We believe all learners can learn to think like artists and express themselves meaningfully through the visual arts. Our facilitators use innovative teaching practices that guide students in exploring their creative potential.

Art education provides a wide range of benefits, including:

1. Creativity and Imagination: Art encourages learners to think outside the box, experiment with different ideas, and develop their creativity and imagination.
2. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Art teaches learners to analyse and interpret visual information and to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solve creative challenges.
3. Emotional Intelligence: Art promotes emotional intelligence by allowing learners to express their feelings, thoughts, and ideas through artistic expression.
4. Cultural Awareness and Understanding: Art educates learners about different cultures and their unique artistic expressions, allowing them to develop cultural awareness and understanding.
5. Confidence and Self-Esteem: Art education provides learners with a sense of accomplishment, boosting their confidence and self-esteem as they develop their artistic abilities.
