Strand A: Creating and Presenting
Applying the creative process and design, using media, and presenting art works (expectations A1 to A3). The museum maps one lesson: where a work is shown.
Strand B: Reflecting, Responding, and Analysing
Examining art works, how they reflect and affect their societies, and job opportunities in the visual arts (expectations B1 to B3). The museum maps two lessons: three historical works, and the calligrapher's craft.

- Learning a craft: the calligrapher How a calligrapher was trained and licensed, and who practises the art today, as one example of a visual-arts opportunity (B3.1). Careers × 2
