MARIS STELLA HIGH SCHOOL AESTHETIC DEPARTMENT ARTS EXPLORER PROGRAMME

INTRODUCTION 1. The Marist Gentleman is one who is able to appreciate the finer things in life and to live graciously. Artistic training, exposure and immersion are important for transmission of cultural heritage that defines a society and civilization as a whole. With Arts forms being varied and rooted in culture, students’ appreciation of other cultures can be deepened through contact with the Arts. The Aesthetics department proposes to introduce the “Maris Arts Explorer” programme on an annual basis. The Maris Arts Explorer programme is an extension of the Arts Instructional Programme which allows students to opt for an Arts1 module of their choice and develop basic skills over a period of time, culminating in a showcase. RATIONALE 2. Maris Stella High School has an obligation to assist each Marist in realizing his artistic ability to the fullest. In line with our strategic thrust 2, provision of holistic education for our students, the “Maris Arts Explorer” can promote the all round development of our students. The programme aims to nurture our Marists as • Reflective, risk-taking and creative thinkers • Appreciative audience of the Arts • Life-long independent learners that harness technology for creative expression OBJECTIVES a.Identify and nurture the artistic and/or musical talents of some of the most  gifted and talented Marists b.Develop a heightened appreciation and enjoyment of Art and Music  among   the   entire   student   population   in   the   context   of   an   ability­driven  educational paradigm c.Encourage   boys   to   experiment   and   express   themselves   through   Art  and Music using technology d.Contribute   substantially   to   the   cultivation   and   nurturing   of  an   “Arts  Culture” in the school e.Cultivate, and preserve the sense of national and cultural identity in our  boys through study and expression of their personal artistic voice f.Create   a   platform   for   exchange   of   ideas   amongst   students   and  consequently to nurture in the boys the desire to support the arts.

Programme Content and Approach 3. The Maris Arts Explorer programme is a four year programme2 comprising two components: Arts Practice and Arts Appreciation. The aim is to broaden Marists’ exposure to the Arts and deepen their interest in the Arts. A palette of Arts modulesunder the components of Arts Practice and Arts Appreciation would be offered to our Marists. They can make their choices according to their interests and abilities. Arts Modules 4. The key considerations in the selection of Arts modules are as follows: a. Students’ different interests and abilities in the Arts b. Promotion of the Chinese Arts forms given that Maris Stella High School is a SAP school c. Promotion of Multi-cultural Arts forms given that Maris Stella High School is homogenously Chinese Examples of these Arts modules are shown in the Table 1.

5. The mode of delivery for the Arts modules is mainly workshops and learning journeys. The duration of the workshops are approximately 12 hours. A minimum of 2 Art forms would be offered per semester. Our identified talented students, internal & external instructors, can conduct these workshops. A minimum of 15 modules across at least 2 Arts Froms will be offered in each semester. More details can be found in ANNEX A. 6. Every Secondary One Marist will be given an ‘Arts Passport’. See example in ANNEX B Marists need to achieve 6 stamps before they receive a certificate of completion. They would need to complete the following a. 4 modules across 2 different Arts forms b. 1 Arts learning journey to an artist/musician studio, exhibition and or/performance c. I showcase via an exhibition or stage performance (lunchtime concert in Champagnat gallery or assembly) 7. Marists are to document of their learning which could be in the form of reflection or photographs of their processes and/or final work in their passports. Testimonial 8. Upon the completion of this programme, it is recommended that their accomplishment be documented via the school cockpit system and school testimonial. This serves to recognize Marists developing as a Gentleman and establish the value of Arts education in their lives. Short-Term & Long Term Goals 9.

Measure of success 10. In order to ascertain the level of success of the Maris Arts Explorer programme, the following would be carried out every year as tools of analysis. • Focus group discussion with students • Student perception survey • Analysis of reflection recorded in Passport • Student contribution to the community Constraints 11. Given the scale of the programme and resource (manpower, time & money) constraint this year, it is proposed that we begin with an “Marist Arts Explorer” weekin 2008 before implementing the programme full scale in 2009. Deployment of talented Art & Music Secondary 2 & 3 students to give the Secondary One students their first stamp on their Arts passport. This would also give the Secondary 2 & 3 students an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and make a contribution to the school. 12. A briefing will be conducted to share details with students and for clarification purpose. Following which students would sing up for their preferred module. Should the particular workshop be oversubscribed, they would be channeled to another module. Identified Arts student leaders will be trained to assist in the organization of the programme. CIP hours would be awarded to these leaders. It is recommended that for 2008, the Maris Arts Explorer programme be part of the year end post exam activities. The tentative details of the Maris Arts Explorer Programme 2008 are as follows: s/no.
