Mr Robert Anthony Brown| Subject Overview: | This subject introduces the arts in early childhood focusing on the visual arts, drama and music. Using play, aesthetic learning and cognition as central themes, students will engage in workshop experiences to develop practical skills in arts making and arts responding. On this basis, they will engage in challenging and creative experiences in and across the arts disciplines. Students will examine ways in which children make and respond to arts works and will reflect on their own creative processes. They will examine teaching strategies that support the sensory and aesthetic development of young children, their creative expression and cognitive development. |
