Students examine philosophical foundations, developmental principles and conceptual frameworks for the arts, and for education in and through them. Active participation in arts tasks focus on extending students' own artistic competencies and their integration in early childhood and primary teaching. With particular emphasis on music and the visual arts, the unit deals with the unique agency of the arts and artistic expression in comprehensive and integrated child development, through everyday play, practice, teaching and learning. -- Course Website
