Elective courses in Art and Music provide students with the opportunity to explore and express their creativity through visual and auditory mediums. In the Art elective, students engage in a range of artistic techniques, from painting and drawing to sculpture and digital design. They learn to communicate ideas, emotions, and perspectives visually, honing their observational and imaginative skills. In the Music elective, students delve into the world of sound, learning to play instruments, compose melodies, and appreciate various genres. They develop an understanding of rhythm, harmony, and musical structure, while also experiencing the profound ways in which music can convey feelings and stories. Both electives foster self-expression, critical thinking, and cultural appreciation, enriching students’ holistic educational experiences.
