Unit Synopsis
In The Arts, students will be introduced to curriculum frameworks and a range of pedagogical approaches for teaching and using the five different discipline areas of the arts in educational contexts. They gain personal practical experience in using the different symbol systems and ways of understanding and representing the world that the Arts provide and build their understanding of how arts practice relates to the formation and expression of social values, beliefs and identity. They evaluate their own experiences and practice throughout the unit to develop understanding of the skills, techniques and classroom strategies appropriate for teaching The Arts in discipline specific, interrelated and integrated ways and to build appreciation for ways in which The Arts provide engaging learning experiences which promote creativity, communication, social and cultural knowledge and innovation.
