Creativity and the Arts: Contemporary Perspectives - ECED828
This unit focuses on the pivotal role of the arts in early childhood and enhances students' capacity to use diverse resources that underpin high quality arts education, particularly in the domains of music and movement, visual arts, and drama in integrative ways. It provides a forum through which to critique issues in arts education, by reflecting and synthesising a specialist body of knowledge focused on early childhood. Students will investigate current research and specialist practice to deepen and consolidate their perspectives on creating innovative approaches when directing arts experiences with young children.
