English – The Art of Expression
In English, we focus on expressing our ideas through writing, stories, and poems. It’s about finding meaning in words and sharing emotion. The top art could be Typography Art, where students design visuals using quotes or lines from their writing to show mood and theme.
This would connect language and creativity, showing how words can also create visual impact.
