Inquiring into the Arts

 

This term we have begun to inquire into the concepts of how we can communicate through the Arts and how do we as individuals and communities learn through the Arts. Our inquiries may look / feel a little different to the normal as we work in both remote and onsite learning settings. 

 

The level big questions are:

 

Grade Questions
Prep

What do the Arts teach us?

We are focussing on fairytales and what we learn from the events and characters in these stories.

 

Grade 1 /2 

Are the Arts just art? What are 'The Arts'?

 

Grade 3/ 4How does Art connect us?
Grade 5 /6

                                         Before 

What’s Happening... Now 

                                        After

 

  • How does art respond to our world in a creative manner?
  • How does art help us?
  • Does art bring us together or push us apart?
  • Is there such a thing as ‘good’ art?

We hope that you will enjoy this inquiry  and exploration into the world of the Arts and the impact that this important aspect of our culture has on us, with your children. As always if you have talents that could assist the children in their inquiries please contact your class teacher, digital incursions, we are learning, are great fun!
