Visual Arts Design and Technology Our goals at HKIS are to make visual arts, design and technology accessible to all students, to provide learning opportunities throughout the entire curriculum, to use a wide-range of information and visual communication tools. We expect to see all students graduate from HKIS with a good understanding of design thinking. The inclusion of the arts and technology are an essential component of the curriculum and promotes the HKIS student learning results. Each discipline of the arts, design, and technology offers specialized knowledge and skills, set within a broader context of guided creativity and aesthetic awareness. The study of the arts fosters a deeper understanding of self, empathy for others, global understanding and spiritual awareness, likewise students should be able to use appropriate technologies to gather information strategically and critically, to learn and create new knowledge with this information and to communicate that knowledge successfully to various audiences.
