This unit offers opportunities for the advanced study of contemporary pedagogical design to support young children's learning through the Arts. An emphasis will be on visual arts and music from birth to eight years of age. The unit explores how visual arts and music uniquely transform children's understanding of themselves and their world as they experience it through their senses and express it multi-modally. Children's processes of creative production and aesthetic response will be reflected upon to ascertain appropriate approaches to teaching and learning that nurture and support the development of playful, creative and imaginative behaviours. Further, this unit examines contemporary teaching and assessment strategies, appropriate environments and how to select content in teaching visual art and music to young children.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
A combination of lectures, workshops, guest speakers, videos, required readings and group and individually assigned work are used to achieve the unit outcomes. Students are required to become independent learners, who can adapt to the roles of practitioner or learner as they contribute to workshops as competent team members.
