This practice-based subject will enable teacher candidates to extend their practical and theoretical understanding of the arts in primary education. Teacher candidates will be supported in the development of their arts skills, their arts pedagogy and their teacher artistry, in preparation for the range of contemporary arts practices in the primary school (from an interdisciplinary approach to the arts in the generalist classroom, to specialist arts teaching). The subject will entail practical workshops involving individual and group-work supported by theories of aesthetic curriculum and embodied learning. The subject will support teacher candidates in understanding the processes associated with arts making with children, and the relationship between arts in educational and cultural settings. Teacher candidates will create their own studio-based work, will undertake site visits, will work with children in school settings and will engage in curriculum development, arts teaching and theoretically-informed reflection.
