LENGTH
Equivalent to 1500 words (this is inclusive of a 300-500 word artist statement and final artwork)
(Please note this does not mean you need to write 1500 words. The only words you need to include is a short (300-500 word) artist statement. The other ~1000 ‘words’ are you going through the process (you can document this with photos, videos, recordings etc), and your final artwork.)
Videos should be no longer than 5 minutes.
1 picture = 100 words
DUE DATE
Week 9
DETAILS
Throughout modules 5 – 8 you will have explored materiality and the visual arts. You have undertaken many interesting and thought provoking readings that are providing you with insights into how the arts are central to ways children can express their capabilities in doing, making, creating with young children. From these readings choose one that has left the greatest impact on you. Choose one language that also speaks deeply to your aesthetics — (music, art, dance, drama, media (like stopmotion, video, animation, soundscapes etc) or combinations of these — and respond to the reading through this medium.
This is a very open assessment task. The arts are only bound by the parameters the creators place on their work. If you decide to explore paper and charcoal for example. You would get large rolls of paper, and different kinds of charcoal. Say you were also interested in using these mediums to map the movements in your local place (like Linda Knight does with inefficient mapping). this assessment task would then ask you to take your artistic materials to a place where you play with these materials and place. The resulting creative work is to be uploaded as your assessment task. This means this is a non-traditional assessment task. Often when we create art we need to provide a short artist statement. In your upload you are also to tell a short story about this work, in writing this you can also be very poetic and creative in how you tell this story. This assessment task is to spark the artist within.
If we believe the arts are important to early childhood education, then we need to think about how we view ourselves as artists and creative agents as well. We need to do this because we co-create with children. If we view children as capable then we must also view ourselves as capable. Have fun exploring an arts-based practice that responds to a reading.
