Cross-Curriculum Perspectives in the Creative Arts

The arts curriculum provides opportunities for learning incorporating a range of perspectives.

Literacy and numeracy can be taught through the arts. Each of the artforms provides a unique field of knowledge which assists students to work towards achievement of outcomes in these areas.

Incorporating Aboriginal, multicultural, environmental and ICT perspectives assists students to develop values and understandings about artworks in a social and cultural context.

Learning in each of the artforms should cater for all students, including those with special needs. Learning experiences can be adapted to suit students' physical, intellectual, emotional and developmental needs.
