This is one of three interconnected units providing a grounding in the expressive arts for student teachers who wish to strengthen this area of competency in their degree. In this unit, students will work from a practical visual arts focus to develop confidence, understanding and skill in this aspect of expressive arts. At the same time, they will examine the importance of the arts in childrens lives and education, the nature of authentic learning and reflective practice, advocacy, forms of presentation and integration of the arts. Current research, theory and resources, including IT will support this work.
