Reflecting the
New Zealand Curriculum, coursework in all arts disciplines at all levels is structured around four inter-related strands:
- Understanding the Arts in Context
- Developing Practical Knowledge in the arts
- Developing Ideas in the arts
- Communicating and Interpreting in the arts
Reflecting the
Senior Secondary Arts Teaching and Learning Guide our vision is for young people who through the arts
- participate in collaborative and individual endeavours that contribute to community well-being and personal identity
- form and frame their identity through physical, imagined, and digital worlds
- create and challenge ideas that reflect, communicate, and change views of the world
- express and interpret ideas within creative, aesthetic, and technological frameworks, thereby building the confidence to take risks
- learn how to think “outside the box”, engage with unexpected outcomes, and discover multiple solutions to challenging problems
- develop greater consciousness and resilience for their futures
- explore and celebrate artistic expressions of self, community, and culture
- are empowered to deepen their notions of identity
- specialise in the disciplines of dance, drama, music and sound arts, visual arts, and art history, or undertake study in multimedia and other new technologies
- build on their experiences, and create, perform, and evaluate art works of increasing sophistication and complexity
- learn to view their world from new perspectives
