Our Aim

• Through the teaching and learning of art in AMKP, we hope to nurture students who enjoy art, communicate visually, and make meaning through connecting with society and culture.

Our Approach

• To achieve this, the art learning experience in AMKP is made “visible, inclusive and authentic” with the following approaches:
  • 4Es Approach (Experience, Exposure, Expression and Enrichment)
  • Inquiry-based Learning
  • Facilitating Collaborative Learning in Art
  • Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) - A teaching approach that transitions students to eventually assume all the responsibility for their learning (self-directed learning).
  • Formative Assessment (FA) Strategies
  • Differentiated Instruction (DI)

Our Key Programmes

1. Art Skills and Exposure (P1-P6)
   • Guided by the 4 Es approach (Experience, Exposure, Expression and Enrichment), our art skills and exposure modules for six years include: Exploring Different Medium: 2D & 3D (Module 1) for P1, Exploring Different Medium: 2D & 3D (Module 2) for P2, Batik Painting and Digital Comic Art for P3, Ceramics Appreciation, Museum Based Learning at National Gallery of Singapore and Photography for P4, Ceramics Appreciation and Digital Imaging for P5 and Ceramic Appreciation and Stop Motion (animation) for P6.
