We are working on developing the creative process to:
Exploring and creating
- Intentionally select and apply materials, movements, technologies, environments, tools, and techniques by combining and arranging artistic elements, processes, and principles in art making
- Create artistic works collaboratively and as an individual using ideas inspired by imagination, inquiry, experimentation, and purposeful play
- Explore relationships between identity, place, culture, society, and belonging through the arts
- Demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of personal, social, cultural, historical, and environmental contexts in relation to the arts
Reasoning and reflecting
- Research, describe, interpret and evaluate how artists (dancers, actors, musicians, and visual artists) use processes, materials, movements, technologies, tools, techniques, and environments in the arts
- Develop and refine ideas, processes, and technical skills in a variety of art forms to improve the quality of artistic creations
- Reflect on works of art and creative processes to understand artists’ intentions
- Interpret works of art using knowledge and skills from various areas of learning
- Examine relationships between the arts and the wider world
Communicating and documenting
- Adapt learned skills, understandings, and processes for use in new contexts and for different purposes and audiences
- Interpret and communicate ideas using symbols and elements to express meaning through the arts
- Take creative risks to express feelings, ideas, and experiences
- Express, feelings, ideas, and experiences through the arts
- Describe, interpret and respond to works of art
- Experience, document, choreograph, perform, and share creative works in a variety of ways
- Demonstrate increasingly sophisticated application and/or engagement of curricular content
