LEARNING TARGETS AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

​

Four Learning Targets are set out to achieve the curriculum aims of the Arts Education KLA. These Learning Targets are inextricably intertwined and form the core of the Arts Education curriculum. They do not necessarily bear the same weight in the process of learning and teaching.

Students should be able to generate ideas through imagination and creativity by participating in arts appraising, creating and performing activities.
