EDCU11021 The Arts

Course details

The Arts offer a range of pedagogical strategies and experiences which help engage students in meaningful learning. As our economies shift and change to focus more on knowledge creation and innovation, learning experiences which promote creativity, risk-taking and experimentation become increasingly important. The Arts also provide students with access to different symbol systems and ways of understanding and representing the world. Through The Arts students are also able to explore the formation and expression of social values and beliefs and personal identity. The Arts form one of the Key Learning Areas of the curriculum in Queensland and Australian schools, and through this subject students will be introduced to syllabus and curriculum materials and begin to plan for learning within and through the Arts. Within curriculum documents, The Arts are comprised of five distinct disciplines: Dance, Drama, Music, Media and Visual Arts. Students will be introduced to a range of skills, knowledge and classroom strategies for each Arts strand as well as exploring ways to plan for integrated learning using The Arts.
