Learning Outcomes
Visual Arts, levels 2–4
Understanding the Arts in Context
During our pre and post-visit exercises we will learn about different ways of communication: oral (voice), written (text), visual (imagery) and physical expression (acting). We will share our ideas and understanding through the art we make.
Developing Ideas
During our visit we will learn to develop our ideas to create simplified/symbolic imagery or icons that will visually help with telling our story.
Developing Practical Knowledge
During our visit we will learn to use a range of art tools such as coloured paper, pencil, glue and scissors to help create a poster that tells our chosen story – as seen in exemplar.
Communicating and Interpreting
During our visit we will share our ideas and thoughts about the art we see and make. We will listen to how others have created their art.
English
Speaking, Writing and Presenting – Processes and strategies
During our visit we will explore how stories can be communicated in different ways. This will help us understand the connection between oral, written and visual language.
Social Sciences
Social Studies
During our visit we will explore the connection between oral, written, visual and physical expression and how telling stories of cultural importance in this way help keeps culture alive for people of different generations.
