Group 6: Visual Arts (Higher/Standard)

Visual Arts is designed for study at two levels, through two routes for both levels, option A and option B. Route A focuses on studio work while route B is focused on investigation work books, both routes contain an element of theory and practice. Standard level, in both routes, is for students generally interested in creativity, Higher Level is for those who could become specialists in using their creative and imaginative abilities. In both levels and routes students will be introduced to art concepts and techniques through practical work in the studio. The structured learning will support students' abilities to express themselves meaningfully in the aesthetic qualities of visual arts, the relationship between form and meaning in visual arts and their social and cultural functions. The main difference between the levels is that Higher Level students will spend more time on their pursuits and be expected to present greater depth than the Standard Level. Students can choose which route they will take once they have started the course.
