Curriculum


The school’s art education curriculum is committed to providing students with balanced and diverse artistic learning experiences, broadening their horizons, and deepening their artistic literacy. The curriculum design emphasises continuity between different learning stages, allowing students to progressively master artistic knowledge and skills. At the same time, the content fully responds to students’ interests, abilities, and learning styles, and keeps pace with contemporary developments — for example, incorporating topics such as the impact of artificial intelligence on artistic creation — to cater to student diversity and reflect the timeliness of the curriculum. In addition, the curriculum emphasises the cultivation of students’ national identity, guiding them to establish positive life values and outlooks, thereby enriching their artistic development journey in a comprehensive manner. 

 

The senior secondary curriculum balances in-depth cultivation of artistic literacy with preparation for public examinations, ensuring that students can perform at their best in both academic and creative aspects. The curriculum objectives and key points are as follows: 

  1. Develop creativity, critical thinking skills, and communication skills, while cultivating aesthetic sensitivity and cultural awareness;
  2. Develop artistic skills, construct knowledge, and foster positive values and proactive attitudes;
  3. Gain pleasure, enjoyment, and satisfaction from participating in artistic activities;
  4. Cultivate lifelong interest in art and encourage exploration of art-related career paths;
  5. Strengthen positive values and enhance students’ resilience and ability to respect diverse viewpoints;
  6. Incorporate national cultural elements to strengthen national identity;

Make good use of artificial intelligence to expand students’ creative horizons and enrich their artistic creation experiences.
