Aesthetics
Vision
- Growing the artist in every Eliasian.
Mission
- Nurturing the Eliasian Artist by providing opportunities for exposure, experience and appreciation in arts.
Learning Outcomes
Music
Aims of the General Music Programme are:
- Develop awareness and appreciation of music in local and global cultures
- Develop ability for creative expression and communication through music
- Provide the basis to develop an informed and life-long involvement in music
Music, being an integral part of many cultures, provides a means to raise local and global awareness amongst our students and enables them to appreciate and express their thoughts and ideas creatively. The processes involved in music performing and creating develop skills such as listening skills, fine motor skills, creative thinking skills and social skills.
Art
Aims of the Arts Education Programme are to enable every child to:
- Enjoy and appreciate Art
- Communicate visually
- Make meaning through connecting with society and culture.
Guided by these 3 aims, our art curriculum provides our students with a balanced and well-rounded education in the aesthetic, cognitive and affective dimensions. It presents ample opportunities for creative and innovative self-expression in varied modes. The learning of local artworks and artists strengthens the understanding of the individual’s national identity by fostering the appreciation of one’s cultural heritage. The engagement in art discussions in the curriculum promotes a lifelong enjoyment and an appreciation for artistic works; developing visual literacy in our students.
