EDBED4012 Arts Education

This arts education unit is designed for generalist primary classroom teachers. It aims to develop con¿dence and competency in the arts discipline areas of music, visual art, dance, drama, media, visual communication and design. Arts elements and languages are explored in order for pre-service teachers to build the capacity to design, evaluate and implement contemporary learning and teaching sequences of work in and through both the visual and performing arts discipline areas. A key intention is to develop awareness of the breadth, scope and diversity of Arts education. Pre-service teachers will consider pedagogical practices in the arts that explore how students learn as artists and audience, through making and responding. A range of approaches to contemporary arts-based teaching and learning will be explored. The unit will address the capacity of Arts education to communicate ideas about important aspects of contemporary life including identity, community, everyday life, the environment and sustainability. Contemporary and traditional arts practices of Indigenous Australians and people from Asia/Paci¿c regions will also be explored.
