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 to perception and visual, manual 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 Years 0 - 5, and in accord with the current Educational Legislation in Aragon for children at those key stages.

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

This subject is organized in two main issues: 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, except from the first unit, which supports the necessary reflection about the importance of arts in education.

 

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.
