The Arts Scope and SequenceYear 2 Syllabus
The syllabus is based on the requirement that all students will study at least two of the five Arts subjects from Pre-primary to Year 8. It is a requirement that students study a performance subject and a visual subject.
Year Level Description
In Year 2, learning in Media Arts builds on the dispositions developed in the early years.
Students explore how meaning can be changed in familiar stories through character and settings. They experiment with unfamiliar and contemporary signs and symbols to create meaning and purpose in different contexts.
They explore and experiment with technical, audio and written codes and conventions to produce media work to convey a story, or a section of a story, using archetypes.
As students make and respond to media work, they identify interests and preferences in media work they view and produce.
