EDU40008 Arts Education Assignment 2 Part A Subject: Drama Year Level: Year 4 (Ages 9-10) Resource: ‘Puppet show using recycled materials’ Image 1. A DIY Cardboard Puppet Theater Content Descriptors: "Explore dramatic action, empathy and space in improvisations, playbuilding and scripted drama to develop characters and situations" (ACARA, 2021). Rationale:

EDU40008 Arts Education Assignment 2 Creativity and imagination are fostered by puppetry (Ahlcrona, 2012). It allows students to experience both the creative process (creating the puppets and script) and the performance, thereby engaging them as artists and audience members. Students have a unique opportunity to investigate dramatic elements such as character development, conflict, and plot through puppetry. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the theatrical process by embodying characters, creating narratives, and performing with puppets. Each group of students can create its own puppet performance. As students work together to develop their puppetry performance, this method promotes collaboration, cooperation, creativity, and effective communication. This project teaches students about the significance of recycling and reducing waste by requiring them to construct puppets from recycled materials. Students can also investigate visual arts elements such as shape, colour, texture, and form through the artistic process of creating puppets. They can design and construct puppets that reflect their individual creativity. This undertaking allows for differentiation. The complexity of the puppet show can be adjusted to accommodate pupils of varying abilities and developmental levels. Younger students, for instance, may concentrate on simpler puppet designs and shorter scripts, while senior students can tackle more complex challenges in puppetry and storytelling. As a teacher, you can assess this puppetry project in a variety of ways, including collaboration by evaluating students' ability to work effectively in groups, their willingness to cooperate, and their contributions to the collaborative process, and creativity by evaluating the originality and creativity of the puppets and scripts students create for their puppet shows. In their puppet performances, evaluating students' understanding and implementation of dramatic elements such as character development, conflict, and plot also supports assessment for this task. By implementing this puppetry project, students not only engage in artistic expression, but also cultivate important life skills such as collaboration, creativity, and environmental awareness. This resource is a valuable addition to the arts education repertoire because it is aligned with the

EDU40008 Arts Education Assignment 2 curriculum, promotes interdisciplinary learning, and accommodates a variety of student abilities. Subject: Dance Year Level: Year 6 (Ages 11-12) Resource: "The Nutcracker" Ballet - The Nutcracker, a two-act ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Image 2. Dancing the Nutcracker: Inside the Royal Ballet (n.d) Content Descriptors: "Explore, choreograph and perform dances using the elements of dance and performance skills to communicate intent" (ACARA, 2021). Rationale: A complicated art form, ballet offers many chances for 'making' and 'responding' in the Dance curriculum. Dance history, choreography, performance, and narrative through movement can be studied (Kassing, 2003). Ballet covers many dancing techniques. Students can 'making' dance sequences and 'responding' by analysing and interpreting ballet performances. Ballet scenes fascinate students. They can talk about dance, emotions, and narrative. To simulate

EDU40008 Arts Education Assignment 2 ballet's physicality and precision, teachers may have pupils replicate simplified ballet steps and sequences. Additionally, pupils can create choreography based on classical ballets like "The Nutcracker." The rhythm and timing of ballet movements, the variations in intensity, energy, and emotions conveyed through dance, and the relationships between dancers are all covered in this resource. Studying the ballet's score can help students understand how the dance conveys emotions and movements. Music education becomes multidisciplinary. Ballet's history, evolution, and cultural impact can be studied. Students learn about dance's physical challenges and rewards in physical education. Ballet athleticism and endurance can be examined. This resource's assignments can be adapted for students' physical and educational needs. Ballet moves can be interpreted seated by students with limited mobility, and discussions can be adapted to different learning styles. Teacher evaluations can include assessing students' understanding and application of dance elements like space, time, dynamics, and relationships in their dance interpretations and their ability to interpret and react to ballet performances. Encourage pupils to express their thoughts and feelings via artistic expression; evaluate their ballet-inspired dance sequences' originality and efficacy to assess their creativity and choreology. By using ballet as an art resource, children learn about dance, critical thinking, creative expression, and art appreciation. This resource enhances dance education by aligning with the curriculum, encouraging interdisciplinary learning, and accommodating varied student requirements. Subject: Media Arts Year Level: Year 5 (Ages 10-11)

EDU40008 Arts Education Assignment 2 Resource: "Wall-E" by Pixar Image 3 . Wall-E (2008) Content Descriptors: "Plan, produce and present media artworks for specific audiences and purposes using responsible media practices" (ACARA, 2021). Rationale: "Wall-E" explores sustainability, loneliness, and consumerism well. It introduces cinema language and sound and visual narrative well (Buckingham, 2003). "Wall-E" is a great way for pupils to explore media arts. It enables students to learn film language, analyse storytelling, and make media art. After watching a film, students can discuss and critically analyse its themes, characters, and use of sound and imagery to communicate. This helps them perceive visual tales and critique media storytelling. Another method is media creation. Students can make short cartoons or storyboard scenarios based on "Wall-E." topics or characters to learn more. This hands-on method lets pupils apply media element knowledge.
