As you know,
this diverse subject provides
exposure to dance, drama, music
and visual arts.
CREATIVE ARTS… A UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT
SUBJECT WITHIN THE CURRICULUM

develop creativity and imagination
develop art appreciation (and arts’ consumerism)
gain basic arts knowledge and skills
 participate in arts activities and…
prepare for possible further study in the art
forms of their choice in Further Education and
Training (FET).
CAPS p 8
LET’S LOOK AT WHAT THE NCS GR R-12
POLICY STATES FOR CREATIVE ARTS…

art forms,
but schools may offer FOUR art
forms.
CAPS p 9
GUIDANCE IN SELECTING ART FORMS
As you know, the selection is determined by each school, based
on the following criteria:
•Availability of the minimum facilities and resources
required for the subject
•Availability of specialist arts teachers on the staff or
accessible to the school (e.g. itinerant teachers, parents,
community artists)
•Learner abilities/talents and preferences
CAPS p 9
Note: your school may have selected TWO or THREE art forms for 2014, but you and
your SMT may start developing plans to include more art forms to offer in the future.

TIME ALLOCATION
In Grades 7, 8 and 9, Creative Arts is
allocated
two hours per week.
Each of the two art forms is allocated one
hour per week.
This allows for depth of study and to
prepare learners for arts subject choices
from Grade 10 to Grade 12.

TIME ALLOCATION: A FEW REMINDERS!
• The art forms should be taught THROUGHOUT THE
YEAR… NOT in half-year blocks – this ensures
continuity and skills development!
• Learners should have a minimum of TEN contact
teaching hours per art form per term during school
time.
• It may be necessary to also plan for EXTRA CLASSES
once per week per art form after school.
• Due to the practical nature of the arts, ONE-HOUR
