The creative arts are an essential part of every student's formal education since it is through this type of exploration of the world that students begin to question and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them, its history, future and their place in it.
Course description

What will students learn about?

Students learn about how art is shaped by different beliefs, values, and meanings by exploring artists and artworks from different times and places and relationships between the artist – artwork – world – audience.
