 The arts are everywhere in our world. There is oldest humanity. With the arts we share our stories, we share our thinking, we express our emotions, ideas, everything happens in and through the arts. A quality arts education is essential for every student to be able to reach their creative and expressive potential. Everybody has a right to be able to reach that potential. Teachers have always had the flexibility to choose topics and content and contexts that are relevant for their students. What Akara has done in consultation is to make the creative process clearer, to make that choice of topics easier for teachers. We wanted the curriculum to reflect those new technologies and emerging technologies. We're all creators on a daily basis and the arts curriculum allows for students to do that, to take the devices they have and follow their interests to express themselves. Students have the opportunity to explore all of these new and emerging art forms through the five arts disciplines of dance, drama, media arts, music and visual arts. Every person and so every student comes to the arts with different experiences and different interests and we hope that the curriculum will allow teachers to meet the needs of every student in a unique way because our arts expression is part of us, so therefore it's unique. Artists and audiences are always finding new ways to connect and communicate with each other. So the arts curriculum needs to do that too. That means being open and flexible to cater for whatever changes are ahead of us. It's really important we hear your views.
