Subject Overview

Creative Arts provides opportunities for students to develop the practical, production technique, research and analytical skills associated with their role in developing a product - for example, school musical, Creative Arts Production, theatre, music or film production, as well as developing a deeper understanding the art form itself. Students focus on improving their performance or production techniques and reflect on their progress; research practitioners of their chosen field and develop an essential skill set they identify as being specific to their creative interests.
