PRESENTATION:

This subject will provide the student with the knowledge of the fundamental theory of teaching Visual Arts and Music in the Early Childhood stage. It will bring the necessary theoretical and methodological foundations in order to recognize and increase the development aspects of these stages related visual perception, aesthetic and musical expression. It will help reflect on the Early Childhood artistic possibilities inside a wide conceptual frame, covering social concerns -as they refer to Cultural Heritage- as well as the individual concerns-referred to in the development of Personal Creativity.

This subject will approach the curricular content of Artistic Education. It will help to acquire the resources to promote the child participation in visual, manual and musical activities both inside and out of the school

environment.

Students will be expected to produce materials and teaching units appropriate for learners (from 0 to 5 years old), and in accord with the current Educational Legislation in Aragon for children at those key stages.

SUBJECT PROGRAMME:

Observations:


VISUAL ARTS:

In the area of Visual Arts as we are conscious of how deep and quickly contemporary society is movining in terms of visual digital communication, and those changes are demaning us to train our society with tools not just to communicate visualy efectively and enjoying the aesthetic expressive posibilities but also, to develop a critical thinking process to manage the tsunami of images that we are daily consuming. As the majority of the students doesn’t have an specific deep artistic training, is key to offer clear strategies to make students feel confiance and fascinated to guide kids, into meaningfull artistic experiences, making the focus to enjoy and analyze the creative process and it’s possibilities. This would help them to continue practicing and researching during their long term carrer after the University stage.

By following the specific requirements of this particular stage of development, suported and detailed on the official Curriculum, the class metodologies and activities will converge into a Project (ARTBook) to program meaningful art teaching activities. Students will sketch the Project from the beginning of the course, and progresively discused and gradually adjusted. The goal of this aproach is for them to observe how the quality of activities increases as they adquire new practical artistic experiece and theoretical knowledege. Idealy this metodology will guide the students to be able to cotinue improving and learning by themselves in their future carreer, while visual culture and it´s art is constantly changing.

MUSIC:

Regardless the area of music, through the development of this subject we aim to raise awareness of the importance of Music Education due to all that it can contribute to general education. Aspects such as active listening, partnership, emotional intelligence or gestures and movement are key aspects for the development of students. Therefore, with this part of the course we seek to create a base of musical knowledge, as well as basic musical culture, in order to be able to study it in depth when the student considers it appropriate in the future.  For this reason, the music class will be divided into two different parts. One part of theory and basic musical knowledge; and a second part that will include all those musical practices to be carried out.

Finally, it should be noted that we expect students to be interested and willing to learn, as the musical quality of the performances or any previous knowledge of music that they may have will not be assessed, so an initial basis will be provided.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

This subject is organized in two main parts: Visual arts and Music. Each topic has their own resources, activities and assessment criteria. As it can be seen in the learning activities table, they have also a different schedule.

The learning methodology in this course is based on the student’s independence and responsible work (alone and in pairs/ group work), creative thinking, curiosity, research tools, readings and personal effort.

The classroom activitieswill be oriented to promote the active learning, so the masterclass contents will be presented in short capsules and intercaled with dynamic and reflective exercises based on CLIL metodologies and microteaching methods.

If students have to do teamwork, they must follow the health instructions: maintain a safe distance, take care of the maximum capacity allowed, wear masks, keep the place and materiales cleaned and clean their hands.
