WHY EXPRESSIVE ARTS?
The Expressive Arts are all around us. From the buildings we live in, to the clothes we wear, the music we listen to, the most recent series on Netflix or film we have watched or the phones we couldn’t live without. It is the artists, musicians, sound engineers, actors, directors, designers, technicians, architects, and many other professions that are responsible for creating, designing, composing or performing in these multimillion businesses worldwide that allow us to live in modern society. All these professions use the same core skills of creativity, innovation, critical thinking and collaboration and these are at the heart of our Expressive Arts curriculum here at Turriff Academy. Our courses are practical based, dynamic, and engaging for all pupils allowing them to explore their own talents and interests. Both in the classroom and out with staff are dedicated to ensuring that pupils have every opportunity to become;
- successful learners who can express themselves, think innovatively, meet challenges positively and find imaginative solutions to problems and who have developed knowledge and skills related to the different arts and broader skills such as the use of technologies
- confident individuals who have developed self-awareness, self-discipline, determination, commitment and confidence through drawing on their own ideas, experiences and feelings, and through successful participation
- responsible citizens, who can explore ethical questions, respond to personal and social issues, and develop stances and views, who have deepened their insight and experiences of cultural identities and who have come to recognise the importance of the arts to the culture and identities of Scotland and other societies
- effective contributors, who can develop and express their creativity, work cooperatively and communicate with others, and in so doing, show initiative, dependability, leadership and enterprise.
