1. One domain chosen
Seven arts domains
- Arts Education: Art Forms, Creating and Running an Art Project – Arts education at school covers several domains: visual arts, music, dance, theatre, cinema and audiovisual art, circus arts and art history. In each one you do three things: practise and create (making), meet and look at art by professionals (receiving), and think and talk about it (reflecting). An art project follows a cycle: an idea or brief, research, experiments, choosing and making, sharing with an audience, and reflecting, with notes or a portfolio kept all the way. Art forms often mix: music with dance, film with theatre. Visiting a museum, concert or theatre and talking with artists builds your own taste and understanding.

- Art History: From Cave Walls to Today – People have made art for at least 40,000 years. Prehistoric art shows animals and hands on cave walls. Ancient civilisations made art for rulers, gods and the afterlife. Classical traditions arose in Greece and Rome, India, China, Africa and the Americas. The Renaissance brought perspective and realism; modern art (from about 1860) broke those rules; contemporary art uses any material. To appreciate any artwork, describe it, analyse its elements, interpret its meaning in its context, and judge why it works.
