This elective explores the creative practices and engaging pedagogies of three arts based educational practices: Visual Arts, Drama and Music. It offers opportunities for Master of Teaching students to participate and collaborate in practical visual arts, drama and music workshops that explore reflective, creative, innovative and artistic practices in, through and across the arts. These workshops will explore how arts and multi-arts experiences provide cognitive, emotional and embodied ways of knowing as well as how arts education practices and pedagogies can be applied across the curriculum and through co-curricula activities.
Students will critique, inquire and reflect on arts education to develop new knowledge and skills to extend their existing pedagogical practices and experiences. Over the course of the elective, they will design and develop an engaging, creative and innovative arts-led curriculum or co-curricula project and present a practical demonstration that illuminates and theorises the educational potential of the project.
