In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform.
Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.
Many children will love the learning experiences offered in visual arts, music, drama, dance, students will enjoy using their own creative abilities in the works they make, perform and compose. They will develop practical understanding of ways in which each of the art forms requires its own thinking and planning. Each of the art forms encourages children to reflect on the activities in which they participate.
The NSW Creative Arts Syllabus K-6 for the Australian Curriculum can be found on the National Educational Standards Authority (NESA) website.
