PRINT THIS PAGEAbout the Arts
Through the Arts, people share stories, ideas, knowledge and understanding. The Arts engage our senses and give us ways to imagine, celebrate, communicate and challenge ways of knowing, being, doing and becoming. Participating in quality arts experiences and practices enriches our social and emotional wellbeing. It fosters development of our imagination and enables us to reach our creative and intellectual potential.
The distinctive languages, knowledge and practices of each Arts discipline in the Victorian Curriculum F–10 enable learners to play, explore, question, challenge and imagine new possibilities as they create, embody, design, represent, collaborate and communicate ideas, emotions, observations and experiences. The Arts foster rich cross-curriculum opportunities for learners as they grow in their understanding of self and others, and as they make sense of, interpret and respond to their real and imagined worlds.
In the Victorian Curriculum F–10, the Arts include Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music, Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design. Through making and responding, students learn as artists and audiences in 4 interrelated strands: Exploring, Developing Practices, Creating and Presenting.
