    Overview

    This unit introduces you to learning in and through The Arts through an exploration of creative approaches. These approaches will promote effective understanding of the Arts, with a focus on the areas of music, drama, dance, visual and media arts. Students will engage in meaningful self-expression, communication and will gain an understanding of diverse cultures and traditions through a range of arts-based experiences that are underpinned by Arts learning theory.

    Learning Outcomes

    On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

    1. Adapt understanding of the diverse ways of learning in and through in the Arts (visual arts, drama, dance, computer mediated art, design, music and performance);
    2. Articulate Arts language and techniques including an awareness of the relevant guidelines, assessment, procedures and resources that support differentiated teaching strategies;
    3. Plan, design, resource (including ICT), teach and evaluate experiences that engage and challenge a diverse range of learners, foster their creativity and deepen their understanding of diverse cultures and the wider global context in which they live;
    4. Exemplify diverse ways of knowing in areas of artistic expression, and how participation in the Arts (including the creation of an arts-rich learning environment) can engage a diverse range of learners.
