Due date: 27th October. 11.59pm Weighting: 50% Length and/or format: 2000 words (approx.) (Resources do not count towards word count and should be part of an Appendix) Please note: The length of the entire task should be equivalent to about 2000 words of academic writing. However, since this task is not a traditional essay, the length here is indicative only. Evidence of quality planning and discussion is more important than quantity. You must use the lesson template provided on LEO to set out this assessment task. Excessively long submissions may not be read in their entirety. Page 14 of 25 Purpose: To demonstrate understanding and implementation of planning a curriculum based unit for a Foundation – Prep class using three of the four Art forms studied this semester (visual arts, drama, dance or music.) Learning outcomes assessed: 1, 2, 3, 4. How to submit: Turnitin via LEO Return of assignment: Three weeks from submission date via LEO Assessment criteria: 1. Demonstrates understanding and awareness of applying diverse pedagogical approaches to planning Arts education experiences for the Foundation year (Prep) of Queensland schooling based on a children’s storybook. 2. Demonstrates understanding of a range of art-based competencies and strategies that can be applied in order to support and extend young children’s authentic engagement in Visual Arts, Drama, Dance and Music education over a four week period of learning and teaching. 3. Demonstrates ability to apply knowledge and understanding of young children’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual development through the development of a creative, interesting and engaging curriculum plan with 12 original resources (3 resources for each week for each of the three Arts forms chosen which will meet the needs of each of your 30 minute learning activities) that link directly to the pre-text of the children’s storybook. 4. Quality of written expression including exemplary use of spelling, grammar and sentence structure and the use of APA 6th edition both in text and in reference list. The Task: BE CREATIVE WITH THE PLANNING TEMPLATE! You are to design a four week curriculum based Arts unit focusing on a children’s storybook suitable for the Foundation (Prep) year of early childhood and covering three of the four Arts disciplines studied this semester. You must base your planning on the example provided by your LIC on LEO. Remember, this is a four week plan so whilst you must outline the steps involved in your weekly Arts’ activities, you do not have to write a detailed lesson plan. You do need however to address the Australian Curriculum requirements (and prior curriculum – Queensland Kindergarten learning guidelines) for the Arts forms you choose and address the elements that are listed below. You can do any combination of the Art forms we have studied but you must choose wisely so you are confident in providing four weeks of activities that have a strong linking thread in their theme and intent – that is, linked to and drawing from the storybook you choose. You must: • Design four, weekly plans with three activities outlined for each of the three Art forms chosen and developed for each week – the timeframe of the arts experiences should devote approximately one hour a week x4 weeks for learning in the Arts at Foundation level. For our purposes here, each activity will span 30 minutes. (http://education.qld.gov.au/curriculum/framework/p-12/docs/providing-curriculum.pdf) FOR

	Title: 
Colouring the very Hungry Caterpillar and the Butterfly
	
Subject Area: Visual Art
	Theme:
Colouring as per the children choices of the caterpillar and the butterfly
	Possible Links to other Key Learning areas: 
· Art work: The colour combinations used to colour the butterfly and the caterpillar. The leaf colour which must be green must be selected by the children. The way to handle the colours and colouring the love signs in red colour. Colouring within the margin and the given picture.
	
	Chosen stimulus:
  
	General Description: Children will use crayons and pencil colours as per their choice to colour the butterfly and the caterpillar on the leaf. The caterpillar will be generally coloured in light brown colour and the butterfly in multi colour. The picture of caterpillar and butterfly will be available in the painting book “Dinosaur Dance”.
	Overarching goals or motivations for developing educational experiences
Why are you exploring the elements and conventions in each of the chosen art areas? What connection is the stimulus and theme? 
Why? For what reason? 
The exploring elements used in the colouring process will be the colouring combinations used by the children to colour the above picture. The intelligence level of the child will also be explored with respect to the brightness and darkness of the colours used to paint the picture. This will help to inculcate the patience within the children. Painting will be taught to the children by holding their hand by the teachers. This will help the children to paint the picture within the margins and within the space provided. Also, there will be a judgement of the eye-coordination of the child which is important to be developed from an early age. Finally, it’s the judgement of the child’s expression without the usage of the words through painting. 
This is a rationale on why you have chosen to explore these lessons. What educational value do they have? 
The rationale of the lesson that has been chosen is to learn the basic and fundamental skills of art and painting. This is to bring and develop the eye coordination, paint only the parts that they observes and making sure that their hand movement is at par with their vision.
The educational value that they will acquire will be the mobility skills development which will help them to be agile and in motion. In the painting their hand muscles are being used and this will allow them to develop the scope of both mental and physical development i.e. agility and patience. It will also help to acquire the trivial details for the child as painting on a already art will require varied painting skills.   
	Making Activities: Are you going to explore process drama, readers’ theatre for example?
1) The patience of the child which have been developed through painting
2) The hand and eye coordination of the children during colouring process
3) The colour combination and the feeling used to communicate the expression 
4) Finally, the child’s progress and the creativity of the child through painting
	Responding Activities: 
1) Painting will be of the landscape and a caterpillar and butterfly in it.
2) There will be a text rubbing if the child is able to draw the picture of the caterpillar and the butterfly. It will be through the use of tracing paper.
3) Then the picture traced by the child will be painted using the colours as per the specifications or as per their choice.
4) The picture will be taken from the drawing book of the dinosaur dance and a collage will be used by the teacher as a show of a previous painting done by a children. 
	
	
Learning Activity One (LA1): Landscape
Children use pencil and pen to create landscapes and learn the concept of using their imagination in creating visually effective art
· Review landscape pictures drawn by other children of the same age.
· Show them example of landscape pictures drawn by teacher.
· Demonstrate the process of drawing a landscape.
· Children are reminded of the different landscape they see or visited.
· Children are given white pages to create an observational drawing.
Learning Activity Two (LA2): Texture rubbing
Children are given an idea of developing different textures by implementing it into development of art that is visually appealing
· Show the children the final product of texture rubbing.
· Explain the process to them and its significance.
· Children collect natural and manmade textures in the environment by going on an excursion to the school garden and collecting recycled materials from parents, etc. (Held on for another lesson)
· Demonstrate the process in front of them by putting a white fresh paper on a leaf and rub the pencil over it.
· Children will be given textures to replicate the same.
Learning Activity Three (LA3): Colour mixing of drawing and painting a dinosaur
Children are taught to draw, and paint and they are shown how to develop a new colour from two old colours by mixing them
· Review the drawing made on the book “dinosaur dance”.
· Demonstrate to the children how to draw a dinosaur.
· Explore painting to the children by mixing two primary colours, such as red and yellow, blue and yellow, blue and red.
· Children can be divided into groups and given small portion of colours to mix the primary colours and find a new colour.
· Provide papers to the children, let them draw their dinosaur and colour it with the new colours or mixture of colours.
Learning Activity Four (LA4):Collage
Children are shown the significance of sustainability by using recycling wastepaper and other products for creating collage. 
· Review a collage made by another child
· Children will use materials collected from the previous lesson (Learning activity 2- Texture rubbing) to make a group collage. 
· Gathering the children as a group around the table to make a dinosaur collage.
· Ask for their suggestion for the theme of the collage, what colour and texture of material they suggest to make up the dinosaur.
	
	Facets of Learning Experiences. (CLIMER)

Ideas:
The children will be given the crayons as well as the pencil colours. They will be given a tracing paper as well as the entire picture of the caterpillar and the butterfly. The best painting as per the colouring and eye and hand coordination will be awarded.  
	
	
Making:
The skills that are required for making the painting will be intelligence and eye and hand coordination as well as patience. 
	
	
Expressive outcomes:
The outcomes will be expressed through their paintings rather than their words. This will help to judge the child’s creativity. 
	
	
Responding: The Child will paint as per the specifications provided by the art institute. They will be instructed to follow their instincts and the nature as well as think about the leaf, trees, caterpillars and butterfly. There will also be a painting which will be already coloured and the children will try to apply these natural feeling to draw the picture.
