Hi all! I'm Georgia and I am not much of an artist, as I tend to like being outside and being active. You will see me either at the gym/exercising or catching up with mates. This course will step me out of my comfort zone which I am looking forward to.

Winter is upon
This week has broader my perspective of the arts as we explored theories and how art is everywhere. I connected through discussion about how art is important to ourselves and within education. Art and creativity plays a role in making meaning and connecting to my surroundings. Brings out the bigger picture.

The stop motion is based on my passion for sport and the importance for everyone to be active. Therefore, creating a sustainable stop motion of someone shooting hoops using rubbish. This illustrates how we should all be involved in sports and encourage students to get involved as well. Kids need to enjoy being outside and being active, basketball is an amazing way to meet friends and exercise.
I enjoyed creating a stop motion as it creates meaning that we are passionate about. Students can either create a stop motion from a topic the teacher chooses, or they can pick their topic. Students' imagination can take place to express their values and beliefs. The teacher can create a topic that relates to their interests and passions. In the future, I intend to create a longer stop motion to incorporate more colour and body of rubbish to illustrate people playing sport. This week has enabled us to reflect on our work and others to find common themes that are presented in the stop motions.

While listening to the music, my pencil glided across the page as the beats and changes in the rhythm created bigger and smaller movements. The music created a drawing that explains the different sounds that were heard. The picture was created in my head and then transferred into this drawing. The activity was very engaging, and I have completed a similar activity with my class during placement.

This audio reflects upon the dry landscape artwork. It reminds me of the droughts that my family has been through for many years, as it's such a devastating and hard time. The animals struggled to survive these harsh climates as they searched for food and water. This is an authentic task as the topic relates to everyday issues that many farmers face. Exploring the SoundTrap app enabled different melodies, pitch, textures, and dynamics to be implemented relating to the mood. The mood is more isolated and distant as there are no animals or life around.

Week 9 - Animal Movement Sequence Reflection

I personally found this activity quite engaging as it stimulates our curiosity as we were challenged to represent the movements of a specific Australian Native animal. Whilst thinking in depth regarding an animal movement sequence I chose the kangaroo. This animal has a very distinct movement as it has a unique jump and rhythm. I always wonder how they progress from being a joey that can hardly hop to this majestic animal that produces speed up to 70km/h. When considering this task in a classroom most students will be hopping around on their 1 foot or two feet together. However, I believed they won’t be able to demonstrate the exact movement as some students haven’t seen this animal up close. For example, in a zoo. Therefore, as a teacher, it is important to demonstrate and explain the different movements that are observed. Providing students with a video of the animal in slow motion could help students visual the movement sequence. Students will represent with different demonstrations which is important to acknowledge as students are allowed to create their own movements without judgment. Teachers could provide aids for students to help improve their hop with the use of a chair or a rail where they can focus on jumping with two feet. Students will present with different abilities, this is where teachers will provide reasonable adjustments to ensure all students are included in this arts integrative activity.
