kindergarten : Visual and Performing Arts Framework



kindergarten students dance,sing,act and paint exploring their world through their senses and improving their perceptual skills soimportant to learning and performing in the arts. They can act like cats; move to music rhythm and sounds; and turn everyday movements such as walking and jumping into dance. Listening to music, they repeat the tempo with rhythm sticks and pretend and act out the stories they hear and the pictures they see by performing group pantomimes and improvisations. They like to talk about what they see in pictures and use glue and scissors with enthusiasm while learning about line, color, shape, exture, value, and space in the world around them and in works of art. While learning vocabulary in each of the arts disciplines, they see, listen and respond to dance, music, theatre and the visual arts from various cultures and time periods. For kindergarten students the arts are among their first exciting adventures in learning. They are beginning to develop the vocabulary and skills unique to thearts.


Dance

Students learn many ways to move through space and respond to their teachers instructions to hop,turn, wiggle, or be still. They use this ability to control their movements,express ideas,and respond to different types of music. By learning folk and traditional dances,they can talk about how the dances are the same or different by using such terms as costume, vspeed,and force. They also learn to distinguish between everyday movements and dance movements.



Music
In music students sing and play instruments become aware of music in their daily experience and learn about music from various cultures. Creating movements in response to music helps them connect to dance and discern variations in rhythm,tempo,and dynamics.

Theatre
In theatre students learn the difference between an actor portraying an imaginary character and a real person. Like actors,they begin to use their senses to observe the world and people and re-create in their minds a feeling or situation to help with character development. They learn that sense memory, which involves sight, smell, touch, taste, or hearing, is an important skill for actors to develop. With their newly acquired skills, they can retell a familiar story, myth, or fable and enjoy adding costumes and props to their performance. By portraying firefighters,teachers, and clerks, they learn acting skills. And by developing important skills through working together in dramatizations, they begin to understand what it means to be a member of the audience.

Visual arts
In the visual arts students may walk ogether and observe the repeated patterns made by the leaves on a tree or the bricks on the side of a building. They also may identify lines, colors, shapes and forms, and textures and observe changes in the shadows and in sunlight. And they may begin to talk about perspective, noticing how objects appear to be larger when close and smaller when far away. Students use this visual information to create works of art on paper and in three-dimensional constructions using geometric shapes and lines that express feelings. Then they advance into analysis as they discover meaning and stories in works of art and see how other artists use the same lines, colors, shapes, and textures as the students did in their own work. Now they have a vocabulary to use as they tell why they like a work of art they made and learn about a variety of artwork in the world around them.
