INTRODUCTION
A world without the arts would be a grey and tuneless place. The arts are so seamlessly woven into the
fabric of our everyday lives that it is easy to overlook the extent to which they contribute to the quality
of our lives, as the following list illustrates:
• music, iPods, CDs • festivals • PowerPoint presentations
• dance clubs • posters, advertisements • TV shows – So You Think
• murals • landscape design You Can Dance
• architecture • jewellery design • book illustrations
• interior design • theatre productions • public artworks
• fashions • music video clips • art exhibitions
• street artists • YouTube videos • advertising
• orchestras • playground design • cinema.
• Big Day Out • computer games

The arts are not only part of what we see and hear around us, but also influence the way we think
and the way we see ourselves. In fact, as the massive forces of change are being felt in our society, the
arts are assuming an increasingly significant role.
The digital revolution, which we are currently experiencing, is transforming the way we think of and
structure information, knowledge, experiences and understandings. The interactive, relative and
navigational ways of negotiating the world of knowledge in the digital world parallel the way artists
work and so researchers are increasingly interested in the arts as a way of gaining insight into these
types of cognition (Bourriaud, 2002).
Similarly, the unprecedented growth of forms of communication that rely on visual formats – such
as websites, videos, PowerPointâ , digital images and Skypeä – mean that visual literacy is becoming a
critical functioning skill. This is so much so that an Australian Government agency observed that
‘artistic and visual literacy are increasingly as important to success in work and life as numeracy and
language skills’ (Ozco and DEST, 2004, p. 4).
Across the world, the growth of the knowledge society has commentators remarking that success
in this economy requires creative and innovative thinkers more than the workers we needed for the
industrial world. In the USA, research shows that 97 per cent of employers surveyed believe that
creativity is increasingly important in the workplace – though 85 per cent seeking employees with such
skills reported having difficulty finding them. The report concludes that ‘it is clear that the arts …
provide skills sought by employers of the third millennium’ (Lichtenberg, Woock & Wright, 2008, p. 17).
Globalisation of economies and global issues like migration and climate change have blurred the
boundaries of societies. Fostering connections and relationships across and within cultures have
placed greater emphasis on cultural understanding and building people’s sense of identity and
connection. Once again, the arts attract attention because of their capacity to meet these needs.
The arts bring pleasure, joy, comfort and understanding into people’s lives. They allow people to
express who they are and to find meaning in their world. In the same way that prehistoric people drew
on cave walls and toddlers draw on bedroom walls, we know that expressing ourselves artistically
through dance, drama, media, music and visual art is a primary and deeply human need.

This book is for pre-service and novice primary school teachers. Experienced teachers who are looking
for a new guide to contemporary arts teaching should also find it useful.
The Arts is a mandated learning area in both the Australian and New Zealand primary school
curricula. For the most part, generalist primary school teachers have the responsibility of providing
their students with good quality arts learning opportunities that enable them to develop the

INTRODUCTION

capabilities deemed necessary for success and fulfilment in our emerging world. This is a challenge,
but you have a pleasurable job to do – one that will bring you many rewards as well.
If you do not feel confident about teaching in the arts, be reassured that you have this capability
within you. It just needs to be harnessed and directed. Furthermore, opportunities such as
partnerships with arts organisations as well as access to professional networks and online resources are
providing more support than ever before. The purpose of this book is to support you in developing
your confidence, understandings and skills to initiate an authentic arts learning program in the primary
classroom. It does this by:
1 providing you with enough background information to appreciate the true nature of arts education
and its importance in the curriculum
2 encouraging you to recognise, celebrate and use your own creative and artistic capacities (which
may be dormant, but do exist) – and your pedagogical skills – to bring arts education alive in your
classroom, and for you to be the best teacher you can be
3 directing you to the range of options and support available to you through partnerships,
professional networks and online resources
4 reviewing the features of an authentic arts program and building the links between theory and
practice with sample lessons, supporting information pages, ideas for programs, suggestions and
guidelines – so that you can initiate an authentic arts education program, function effectively in the
classroom and be confident that you will succeed.
Both the title of this book and the content refer to authentic arts education. What this means is arts
education that is genuine education – where children actually develop more sophisticated
understandings, skills and capabilities in the arts, which support satisfying self-expression and
appreciation. To be blunt, far too much of what passes for arts education is not much more than busy
work or a fun-time interlude in the ‘real’ work of education. Not that there is anything wrong with
having fun – but arts education also needs to be purposeful, stimulating and challenging learning –
and all education should be fun!

How this text is organised


The book is organised into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the contemporary
context for arts education and then examines the three interconnected elements of arts education in
the primary school – the student, the teacher and the curriculum. The second part looks specifically at
teaching in each of the five arts areas. The third part is a collection of lessons and resources on the
theme of Patterns around us that can be implemented in the primary school classroom. Additional
lessons and resources are located on the book’s website, which you can access via http://login.
cengage.com.

Pedagogical tools
As part of being a reliable resource for learning about and teaching in the arts, a number of other
pedagogical features have been provided to assist your studies. The text makes regular references to
the Australian Curriculum. Icons in the margin draw attention to references made to cross-curriculum
priorities.
Each chapter begins with a set of bullet points outlining the key ideas in the chapter and has a
summary of the main points at the end. Subheadings are used throughout and you will be able to go
directly to the section you need at any time. At the end of each chapter are suggested activities for
you to consolidate and check your learning.
Throughout the book are At a glance boxes that can be quickly located as ready references for key
information – or photocopied and pinned up at your workstation.

xxiii
INTRODUCTION

The Classroom snapshots are boxed sections that offer examples of arts education in action in the
classroom and other learning contexts. You will see how the ideas discussed in the book are enacted
and translated into real-life classroom situations.
Online resources are provided in every chapter so you have reliable resources readily at hand for
teaching and your own self-education. These annotated lists of websites extend the value of the book
because you can continue to access up-to-date information.
Starter ideas throughout the text provide lists of ideas for practical implementation that illuminate
the concepts being discussed.
Icons for significant educators are in the margins as well as explanations for terminology
highlighted in the text in bold font. A glossary at the end of the book lists all these terms
alphabetically.
The book has its own website where additional lessons and resources expand the material
provided in the text. Templates such as those for unit planning or developing visual narratives, which
are in the book for reference, are also on the website so they can be downloaded for use.
All these features are intended to support your ongoing professional development as an educator
in the arts beyond the pre-service units you complete in your degree.

Terminology
While a glossary of terminology is included in this book, several terms used throughout the text should
be clarified here. ‘The arts’ is a collective term referring to dance, drama, music, visual and media arts
and other forms of artistic expression. When capitalised, The Arts is generally referring to The Arts
learning area in the Australian Curriculum. ‘Artworks’ and ‘artists’ are usually used in this text as
collective nouns to mean all products of the different arts areas and all creators. This is in order to
avoid cumbersome specification when meaning any and all art forms or creators. Therefore, a musical
performance is an artwork and a composer is also an artist.
The term ‘pre-service teachers’ refers to those who are studying to gain a teaching qualification.
Novice teachers are qualified teachers in the first years of their teaching careers. Throughout the text,
children and students are terms used interchangeably to refer to the young ones you will be teaching.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright
law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite
these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the
medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,”
such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt

property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other
medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.

you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of

agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this

Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or
deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect
you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal
tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax
deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and
your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500


West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact
links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at
www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws


regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states


where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot


make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current


donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several


printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
