The Visual Arts curriculum at HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College is designed to cultivate students’ creativity, visual literacy, and lifelong appreciation of the arts. From S1 to S3, the curriculum primarily emphasizes art experience and enjoyment of art-making. Students are guided to explore a wide range of visual media, techniques, and materials through structured learning activities that encourage experimentation, self-expression, and confidence. Learning is activity-based, allowing students to develop foundational skills while experiencing the joy and personal meaning of creating artworks. Through classroom demonstrations, guided practice, and regular opportunities for reflection, students progressively build basic artistic competence and develop a positive attitude toward visual arts. Beginning in S4, students engage in Visual Arts (HKDSE) learning, where the focus deepens from exploration to purposeful development for public assessment. The curriculum inspires students to strengthen their understanding of art concepts and artistic expression, while also developing critical thinking through art criticism and art appreciation. Students learn to interpret artworks, articulate opinions with supporting visual evidence, and appreciate how artists communicate ideas across different styles, cultures, and contexts. This broad and balanced approach helps students connect practice with theory, enabling them to view art not only as production, but also as a form of meaningful communication. In S4 to S6, students systematically acquire strategies relevant to the Visual Arts HKDSE public examination and SBA (School-Based Assessment). The curriculum supports students in planning, executing, and refining their artworks, while training them in examination-related skills. Overall, HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College provides a rigorous yet supportive learning pathway that prepares students for assessment success and fosters enduring engagement with the arts. |
