This cross-disciplinary approach enriches students’ understanding of art as part of the broader cultural and historical narrative. 4. Development of Critical Thinking and Art Appreciation: The scheme encourages students to develop critical thinking skills by analysing works of art and debating contemporary issues, such as the influence of technology on art. This ensures that students are not passive learners but are actively engaged in interpreting and discussing art. 5.
