School Levels
Secondary
Art plays a pivotal role in communicating ideas, emotions, identities and relationships. This tour will guide students to explore how two artists from different regions and historical contexts have navigated themes of identity and relationships in their work.
Programme Details
Students will probe the theme of “art as exploration” through the two artworks presented in this tour. The artworks will introduce students to the living conditions, environments and societal challenges of Southeast Asia during the colonial and post-colonial periods. Students will discuss how art reflects these challenges, compare them with contemporary issues and explore how art serves as a powerful medium to express and navigate identity and relationships across diverse contexts.
Programme Learning Objectives
• Analyse and interpret how artworks reflect personal and cultural identities while considering one’s identities and relationships.
• Discuss how different aspects of art (e.g., subject matter, medium, form) communicate themes of identity and relationships.
• Examine the context influencing artistic expression and audience interpretation.
