PERFORMING ARTS Students explore the elements of movement through learning and performing a class dance. They respond to music and explore through dance and movement. Students also learn about basic drama concepts using their imaginations. They develop their communication and storytelling skills through play and present short performances for their peers. VISUAL ARTS Students focus on developing various techniques through the Visual Arts elements of line, colour, shape, texture, value and space. They observe techniques used by artists from a range of social and historical contexts and plan and create their own visual art works. Students participate in the areas of drawing, collage, painting, textiles and construction. They use ideas and concepts taken from themes and visual stimuli from a range of cultures and social contexts to explore, create and express their ideas.

DIGITAL DESIGN

Through Digital Design, students develop their skills in problem solving, creativity, teamwork, independent thinking and are introduced to careers that utilise these skills. They develop and apply an understanding of how diagrams communicate design ideas and undertake projects that use the engineering design process by responding to problems created in picture books. In Term 2, students explore which plants and animals can provide food or materials for clothing and shelter and what basic needs those plants and animals have. They identify products that can be designed and produced from plants and animals, for example food products, paper and wood products, fabrics and yarns.
