Creative Art
Creative Arts is a discipline centered on "telling stories with materials and learning from masters." Through a variety of handmade materials, such as painting, collage, construction, and mixed media, students can freely transition between knowledge, artistic skills, and inspiration from masterful works. By appreciating works by diverse themes or artists, students are encouraged to create with a variety of materials, such as playful collages and themed creations, resulting in hybrid art. Through hands-on practice, children explore the properties of materials and integrate interdisciplinary knowledge into their own artistic creations. This is a joyful learning journey that enhances artistic literacy and comprehensive skills.
