The Arts Scope and SequenceYear 6 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 6, students explore stories and ideas from different viewpoints. They explore how narrative structures and tension engage an audience.
Students continue to experiment with codes and conventions to persuade and engage an audience.
As students make and respond to media work, they describe how the codes and conventions of media communicate meaning. They examine the regulation and ethical behaviour in media. Students explore the factors that influence media in different cultures and times.

Skills
Exploration and experimentation with the codes and conventions of media:

- symbolic (using costumes and props to represent people as fictional and/or non-fictional characters; manipulating familiar places to create fictional settings; manipulating natural light to enhance a shot; using body language to create meaning)
- audio (loudness and softness; music to convey a mood; sound effects)
- written (selecting text to strengthen a viewpoint and engage an audience)
when producing media work (ACAMAM063)

They explore how narrative structure, tension and different viewpoints engage an audience. Students use audio to convey mood and edit text appropriately to support the message. They use props, costumes and places to represent fictional and non-fictional characters and settings, and use body language to create meaning. Students follow some appropriate media protocols.
