Engaging Children in the Arts

This subject introduces and develops Teacher Candidates’ practical and theoretical understandings of learning in and through the Arts, play-based learning and creative pedagogies in early childhood settings and primary classrooms. Teacher Candidates engage with Drama, Music and Visual Arts in relation to the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework’s understandings of creative skills and play-based learning and the Victorian Curriculum, investigating their application as individual artforms and across the Arts Learning Area, the Capabilities, and the Cross-Curricular Priorities.
