This unit exposes students to Visual Arts and Dance techniques from over the globe, and allows them to experiment and expand their understanding of The Arts and culture. Students will be required to use various techniques by developing their own artworks, and respond by identifying how and why people dance in different countries. This unit integrates Global perspectives and literacy alongside the relevant Arts subjects of Dance and Visual Art. While learning and applying the Elements of Arts, this unit allows learners to perceive and understand their own identity and the identity of people from around the world, as they begin to understand what goes into shaping culture. The work program is perfect for NQT’s and Australian teachers who would like to break away from C2C but don’t know where to start. For Primary teachers who are not arts specialists, this provides teachers the means to ensure they are covering the curriculum through enriching lessons. While links are included to ACARA, the unit content is applicable for International, and English curriculum. Included in this program are: 17 fully resourced lesson plans (includes all worksheets, PPT’s, videos and activities) Explicit links to the General Capabilities Curriculum links A Glossary of Great Games Differentiated tasks Assessment options

An integrated Arts unit that combines Visual Art and Drama while also explicitly targeting the general capabilities.

Included in this package is an extensive work program that includes 17 lesson plans, all lesson resources, A Glossary of Great Games and assessment options. This unit has been written with NQT’s in mind and is very easy to follow, with multiple options on how to differentiate lessons to include a diverse range of learners. While this unit is suitable for all curricula, the documentation is linked to ACARA through explicitly highlighting content descriptors, Achievement standard and the General Capabilities.

The ‘Emotions’ unit, allows students to be able to explore their own emotions through self-expression, as well as build capacity in personal and social capability. This unit will require students to demonstrate situational, emotional awareness through developing a group drama, as well as demonstrate their emotions visually through an artwork. They will explore selected Elements of Drama, as well as Visual Arts techniques, in order to create their final products. Included in this unit are: 16 fully resourced, comprehensive lesson plans Assessment options A Glossary of Great Games Differentiated options Assessment task output Students will be expected to: Create a narrative structure representing a change in emotion Devise, polish and perform a tableaux Analyse visual art for how techniques are used to demonstrate an emotion Create an artwork Write about their artwork This unit is based around three major concepts and skills. 1. Representing emotions in Drama Students will identify why emotions are important in Drama, and explore how to portray them. They will need to develop an understanding of facial expressions and body language as well as the elements of drama of role, relationships and situation. Students will be able to consider how the above elements of drama can be used to create tension, conflict and a change in emotions. **2. Narrative structure and tableaux ** Students will understand how to develop a narrative structure that includes a change in emotion. They will then demonstrate their narrative structure through a series of tableaux, while representing their knowledge of role, relationship and situation through the use of body language and facial expressions. **3. Visual Art techniques ** Students will develop an understanding of colour and line. They will then analyse how a range of different visual art pieces represent emotions through the use of these techniques. Students will need to create artwork that represent an emotion, applying techniques appropriately to communicate their meaning. A perfect Unit of Work for NQT’s, teachers new to the subjects, or experienced practitioners who would like to expand their toolkit.
