Why art?
Artworks are an authentic expression of the thoughts, feelings and creativity of individual Japanese artists. They can provide unlimited avenues for the language student to interact with these original creative impulses leading to deeper cultural understanding. Promotes ILTL and develops thinking skills
Art speaks Japanese supports individual learning by providing diverse experiences of language and culture, and by asking questions that encourage learners to seek their own answers. The tasks designed for this resource involve noticing, comparing, reflecting and interacting, which are essential processes in the ILTL approach. The tasks develop students’ thinking skills, from comprehension skills to higher order analytical and interpretive skills, and critical thinking. Curriculum connections
The resource enables students to make connections across the curriculum, as the tasks incorporate aspects of other subjects besides art into language classes, such as history, maths, science and music. |
