Visual Art
Visual Art
Art beautifies our surroundings, captures memories, communicates ideas, imparts values and evokes emotions in our everyday life. Art exists in different forms from fine arts, design and to media.
Art nurtures our pupils’ holistic growth development. Through positive learning experiences in art lessons and program, pupils in Qifa Primary School develop visual literacy which enables them to observe and perceive the world with increased awareness and aesthetic sensitivity. Making art also encourages the development of creativity through idea generation and material exploration. The expression in Art allows students to engender a sense of self-worth. Appreciation of artworks further equips the students to make connections, better understand and engage with the world they live in.
