This is the first of two units which will develop students' understanding of the role of the Creative Arts in young children's lives. Students will be introduced to the elements and principles of Visual Arts, Drama, Music and Dance. They will begin to develop their understanding of the early childhood teacher's role in engaging in creative arts play experiences that support children's meaning making and are responsive to their diverse identities, needs and interests. They will engage in learning experiences to build their teaching skills in using singing, art-making, drama, puppetry and story-telling with young children.
