The Arts
At Moe ( Albert Street ) Primary School the children are
exposed to the arts through a specialist program. The school
contains a modern and thoroughly equipped Art Room which allows the
children to explore the various mediums of all forms of arts.
Learning in the arts takes several forms. Through arts
practice students learn to develop ideas by drawing upon experience,
exploring feelings, observing and researching. These processes may
require the development of imaginative and creative solutions or a
sensitive understanding of particular conventions or constraints,
depending upon the nature of the arts activity. In order to communicate
ideas, students learn the elements, principles, processes and
techniques as well as the cultural and aesthetic values associated with
specific arts forms. They also learn how different arts forms can be
presented in collaborative ways.
Comprehensive and sequential learning experience s
in the arts during schooling provide individuals with necessary skills,
understandings and confidence to participate fully in the arts
throughout their lives.
