AED1100 Art in Education (Primary)
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Credit Points: 12
 
Description:
This unit addresses the role of the visual arts at the primary level to provide educational experiences in the use of visual forms and images as a means for personal expression and communication. The unit will develop an understanding that the visual arts offer unique ways of expressing and interpreting ideas and feelings. These experiences will include activities such as drawing, painting, print making, sculpture, design and assemblage. Each of these studio areas produces uniquely different results in terms of visual qualities, form and appearance. In the studio workshop sessions, the students will be directed to develop their observation skills and imagination using simple materials and processes. Appropriate visual arts teaching methods will be examined. A range of visual works will be viewed so that students will learn to recognise different styles, meanings and other functions of these works, from past and present contexts.
