A must-read for all prospective students who wish to make a committed focus on the arts, be it Paper 1 or the uncharted AQ (Paper II, SG 50 and GP, well better be safe than sorry) to come. This summative article charts the trends which have made the arts increasingly more visible in Singapore society (and why it was perceived to be less so in the past). It is not possible to mount a sensible argument on the arts ( in Singapore) if we do not first have a basic understanding of its place in Singapore's developmental history.
Why would the arts scene be seen as a hallmark in any civilized state or progressive society?
How can we further develop and build on artistic energy, legacy and cultural vibrancy to become critical components in enhancing a country's social compact?
What rich implications would it have on our standard of and quality of life and living?
The questions above form the core of all arts-based questions in Paper 1. It also be traced all the way back to your first Paper 2 assignment back in Term 1. Remember 'Complex Culture' ?
