This unit is one unit in which you will focus on the role that Drama, Music and Movement and indeed all the arts play in early learning and development. The Arts allow us to express feelings and respond to the expressions of others, and to re-present them, reflect on them and create a new story about them. Very young children are able to use the materials, forms and sensitivities of the Arts to communicate before they understand and have control over the structures and features of the formal spoken or written language. Becoming 'Arts literate' involves experimenting and engaging with ideas, materials, instruments and techniques, learning through the senses, taking creative risks in a safe environment, exploring the elements and discovering what it is you like about a piece of music and why and how music works in the world; discovering how dramatic play and activities engage us in verbal and physical communication through imitative role behavior, make believe and social interaction with real and imaginary others; exploring the transfer of weight, force, energy and position of the body in space and being involved in creative movement activities alone and in cooperation with others. Exploring the world around us and establishing a sense of home and place in our own bodies, with our own unique identity. The Arts have a cognitive function in that they show us things in new ways, deepening and or changing our existing understandings. It is my hope that you will have embodied experiences where you are able to engage with these aspects of teaching and learning in the Performing Arts through dance, drama and music. Educators support young children's learning in and through the performing art by supplying interesting and quality experiences, giving time to explore, develop and finish a piece or work (Arts making) followed by sharing it with others (Arts response). They talk and respond to the works asking questions that respect the individual representations, but encourage further thinking, experimentation and learning (aesthetic development). They also introduce songs, dances and allow for role play and games in different forms and from different cultures, providing the language with which to talk about, appreciate and critique performing arts pieces and experiences. I hope you will engage in experiences and grow to understand more about the development your own performing arts experiences that support young children's learning in and through the creative arts. Deakin University would like to acknowledge that the present site of the Melbourne Campus at Burwood is located on the land of the Wurundjeri people and that the Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds and the Geelong Waterfront Campus are located on the land of the Wautharung people. The campus at Warrnambool is located on the lands of the Gunditjamara people. They belong to these lands, have walked on them for thousands of years, and continue to care for them and nurture them. This Unit Guide provides you with the key information about this Unit – for the best chance of success, you should read it very carefully and refer to it frequently throughout the trimester. Your CloudDeakin Unit site (inside DeakinSync) also provides information about your rights and responsibilities – we will assume you have read this before the Unit commences, and we expect you to refer to it throughout the trimester. WHO IS THE UNIT TEAM? Unit chair: leads the teaching team and is responsible for overall delivery of this unit Trimester 1: Fiona Phillips Trimester 3: Fiona Phillips Unit chair detailsDeakin University, Faculty of Arts and Education ECE440 Creative Arts 2: Music, Dance and Drama - Trimester 3, 2016 31 October 2016 Page 3 of 12 Campus: Waurn Ponds (Geelong) Email: [email protected] Phone: (03) 5227 1456 Administrative queries If you need help with any aspect of your life at Deakin, you can: ● Contact your Unit Chair or Campus Leader ● Speak to a Student Adviser ● Ask Watson (accessed through DeakinSync) ● Visit the Division of Student Life ABOUT THIS UNIT This unit aims to broaden and deepen the student's knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of the role that music, dance and drama play in children's development and learning. Students will explore and reflect upon the creative use of singing, dancing, playing, creating and moving, and develop repertoire appropriate for use in the classroom. Students will examine and analyse aspects of what becoming arts literate means and the role that these art forms have in the Indigenous Australian and multicultural Australia. The unit involves experimenting and engaging with the body, sounds, spaces, objects and ideas, exploring the elements and discovering why and how creative arts work in the world. They will experience and analyse the cognitive function of the arts in that they show us things in new ways, deepening and or changing our existing understandings. They will examine and analyse the way in which music, dance and drama also offer the means for helping children to understand and consolidate what they learn. Students will engage in activities and experiences that encourage and nurture them, so that they can in turn, nurture the musical, kinaesthetic and dramatic understandings and expressions in others. Unit development in response to student feedback Every trimester, we ask students to tell us, through eVALUate, what helped and hindered their learning in each Unit. You are strongly encouraged to provide constructive feedback for this Unit when eVALUate opens (you will be emailed a link). In previous versions of this unit, students have told us that these aspects of the Unit have helped them to achieve the learning outcomes: ● It was such an advantage to attend intensives and be fully engaged with experiential learning that was play based ● Sharing ideas and collaborating in groups at the intensives and creating/presenting peer assessed work really showed how social learning is powerful They have also made suggestions for improvement, and so this is what we have done: ● Based on student feedback indicating there was too much assessment, we have created 3 separate but connected assessment tasks one for Dance, one for Drama and one for Music. These will come together in a web-based portfolio. ● Students complained that there was not enough time dedicated to learning experiences for the Arts, so we have extended the hours for the on-campus students.Deakin University, Faculty of Arts and Education ECE440 Creative Arts 2: Music, Dance and Drama - Trimester 3, 2016 31 October 2016 Page 4 of 12 If you have any concerns about the Unit during the trimester, please contact the Unit Chair.
