Students use their creativity, imagination and senses to express ideas about social, cultural, historical and spiritual contexts through Dance, Drama, Music, Media and Visual Art.

They create their own arts works and present and respond to their own and others’ arts works, considering intended audiences and intended purposes.

Students use the essential processes of Ways of working to develop and demonstrate their Knowledge and understanding. They extend their understanding of arts practice through active engagement, both individually and collaboratively, with arts elements, techniques, skills and processes.

They develop their ability to analyse meaning and they reflect on the creative process that has occurred within one or across many arts disciplines.

Students select and use tools and technologies, including information and communication technologies (ICTs), in purposeful ways. They make use of the potential that ICTs provide to inquire and solve artistic problems, to create and present arts works, and to communicate their own arts practice and that of others.

Students demonstrate evidence of their learning over time in relation to the following assessable elements:

• knowledge and understanding

• creating

• presenting

• responding

• reflecting.

This year, the children at Coolum SS have participated in NAIDOC week celebrations where a component of the week was to produce a class canvas for display. These art works have been inspired by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait style of art. Please take some time to look at our Virtual Art Exhibition.
