Lewensoriëntering

Life Orientation

• Knowledge that is integrated within theory, skills and values.
• Outcomes are defined on very broad terms and are practical.

Doel

• Om leerders in staat te stel om hul konstitusionele regte en verantwoordelikhede te beoefen.
• Ander se regte te respekteer.
• Diversiteit en algemene welstand te waardeer.
• ‘n Betekenisvolle rol in die gemeenskap en ekonomie te speel.
• Identify the links between cultural practice, power and cultural dominance;
• Analyse the effects of time on culture and the Arts; and
• Understand how the Arts express, extend and challenge culture in unique ways.

The approach towards the Arts in this Learning Area Statement moves from a broad experience involving several art forms within diverse cultural context, towards increasing depth of knowledge and skill by grades 8 and 9. There is recognition of both the integrity of discrete art forms and the value of integrated learning experiences. The Learning Area Statement strives towards creating a balance between developing generic knowledge about Arts and Culture, and developing specific knowledge and skills in each of the art forms.
