Art & Culture
Arts are integral to the learning at GIS IB. We offer a wide range of opportunities to ensure that students are stimulated to think and to articulate their thoughts in new ways through a variety of media and technologies. Learning about and through arts is fundamental to the development of the whole person, promoting creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving skills and social interactions.
At GIS, arts are identified as Visual arts and Music. Arts education is incorporated both into the Primary and the Middle years programme. It will also be an integral part of the IBDP Visual Arts programme. Regular visits to museums and art exhibitions further expand their horizons and expose them to art from other times and artists. Arts promote attitudes such as empathy, expression and appreciation.There is ample opportunity to enhance the observation skills that enables one to identitfy uniqueness and commonalities that connect us. Our art programmes nurtures passion for a specific art, it also inculcates aesthetic sensibility and creativity in students.
