The Arts Scope and SequencePre-Primary Year 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 Pre-primary, learning in Visual Arts builds on the dispositions developed in the early years.
Students explore personal experiences as an inspiration to create original artwork. They explore natural and man-made materials and are introduced to the visual elements of shape, colour, line and texture. Students investigate different tactile techniques when creating artwork.
Students begin to see themselves as artists as they display and share their artwork with others.
As students make and respond to artwork, they explore different places art is displayed in the local community.
