The subject provides students with a sound working knowledge of the history and theory of arts practice. Students examine key theories that provide explanations for why the arts are of value to society and how artists in the past have used symbolic means in visual, musical and/or dramatic forms to communicate with an audience. The subject also involves an investigation of the way in which artists exercise creative imagination to make culturally significant or insightful works which contribute to human understanding. Students are taught to analyze artworks and to develop strong skills in research and reflection.
