The unit is focused on how artists draw inspiration from what is around them, how that inspiration influences the way they make work,what do they think about and how do they develop as artists.The unit also introduces students to the principles of abstraction and the life and work of Pablo Picasso is used as a story-telling device. The early part of the unit involves students in explicit skill development, before moving into open-ended creative responses to the stimulus question.

Let’s Play Music 

This unit provides a sequence of learning opportunities based around a chant. It uses this repertoire as a vehicle for developing students’ ability to create and structure their own composition through a series of whole-group activities that lead to a small group and individual work. Musical concepts students will learn are duration, pitch, dynamics, tone colour and structure.
