Content
This unit focuses on developing creative, innovative, effective arts teaching and learning environments in primary classrooms. For young people, learning in the arts through music, and the visual arts, involves the ability to communicate and interpret meaning, using the languages of the arts disciplines. They include cultural, critical, visual, spoken, written, aural, kinaesthetic, multi-modal and aesthetic ways of knowing and representing thinking. Developing literacies in the arts significantly enhance our opportunities to contribute to our communities and cultures in a world where multiple literacies are important for communication, understanding, and intellectual growth. It is a lifelong process of learning and participation that begins in the primary years of schooling. Students will engage in practical arts experiences, which will inform and develop their knowledge and skills in each arts discipline. They will have the opportunity to apply their skills in designing programs for primary classrooms. They will be encouraged to apply their skills and knowledge during school based activities and the school Professional Experience program.
