EDAR416 Visual Arts Curriculum and Teaching 1
10 cp
This unit is designed to create and extend a knowledge base for visual arts education that will develop competence and ability in the planning of experiences in visual arts for middle school students within the context of relevant state curriculum documents. The unit is also designed to develop students’ understanding of visual arts education within a discipline-based tradition of aesthetics, art criticism, art history, and art production. Identification of appropriate content is investigated in order to facilitate middle school students’ achievement of standards. Emphasis is given to the contribution of visual arts education to whole language curriculum and also the way in which visual arts facilitates thinking through the processes of conceptualisation, inquiry and reflection.
