It is currently The Carnival of Flowers in the city I live. My favourite time of the year as I love all the pretty flowers and being out in nature. This assemblage represents my love for flowers and was also a chance for me to get outside and pick my perfect flowers in my favourite colours. ]]> 2023-10-02 03:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924671 tahlidaws01 https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924777 My recycled materials artwork addresses the importance of sustainability in our world. This artwork clearly represents how things that would generally become rubbish can be used and turned into art that is simply but effective. I loved how I was able to turn these items that people may think have no use and would disregard, into something that is I find pretty and appealing to the eye. I can apply this learning in my future classroom to integrate Science with the Arts and teach young people about not just the importance of creating a sustainable environment but also how we can use everyday items we find around our house that would usually end up in the bin, and turn them into an art piece that is meaningful to us. ]]> 2023-10-02 03:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924777 tahlidaws01 https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924832 2023-10-02 03:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924832 tahlidaws01 https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924878 The blue line in my abstract artwork represents constant smooth sound that was made by the string instrument throughout. This sound made me feel calm and like I was at a beach listening to the surroundings. This movement is one constant line as it was a constant sound all the way through.

The orange circles represent the shorter staccato sounds that could be heard throughout the clip. They became thicker and then thinner represented by the grouping of many dots and then thin line. I chose to represent them as dots as they are a quick sound kind of like putting a dot of paint on a piece of paper. This sound made me feel adventurous and excited as if there was something about to happen. ]]> 2023-10-02 03:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924878 tahlidaws01 https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924934 My artwork inspiration for my Sound Scape was Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh]]> 2023-10-02 03:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727924934 tahlidaws01 https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727925001 Chosen Amphibian: Ornate Burrowing Frog

I found this task quite challenging as these frogs don't have many behavioural characteristics that can be made into a movement sequence and are appropriate for children. Frogs behaviours are driven by instinct and biology and used to show fitness and attractiveness especially during mating season to other frogs. 

While to us as humans the behavioural characteristics are not dance moves in the sense that we think of dancing, with a bit of modification, they can easily be integrated into a movement sequence to show them as behavioural characteristics. After a bit of research I was able to find a way to incorporate 

The behavioural characteristics that I would include for this amphibian are:
1. Burrow and Pop 
2. Nocturnal Exploration
3. Vocalisation Dance 

Representing these moves:
1. Burrow and Pop: Children would begin in a crouched position low to represent the burrowing behaviour of the frogs. Children will use their hands to prevent to dig in the ground, hands first as this is what frogs do. After a few moments of "burrowing", children will suddenly pop out of their burrow by jumping up, representing the emerging from the burrow ready to explore. 
2. Nocturnal Exploration: Children will move around the dance area slowly and quietly, as if they are exploring at night. Tiptoeing steps should be used as well as their hands to feel their way, mimicking the frogs' nocturnal behaviour. 
3. Vocalisation Dance: This could be incorporated to teach children about how these frogs communicate. Have children stand in a circle within the dance area, each child will step into the middle and do a simple dance move (eg, a step, a twirl, a jump, etc.) while making a frog-like-sound. Once one child has had a turn them the other children will response in random order with their dance move and frog-like-sound to represent the communication process between frogs. 

This dance/movement sequence will provide a playful and educational experience for the children while learning about The Australian Ornate Burrowing Frog. ]]> 2023-10-02 03:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727925001 tahlidaws01 https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727925055 The integration of History specifically the learning of The First Fleet into Drama creates a more engaging and memorable learning experience for students to develop a deeper understanding of the historical events and the people involved. This integration also provides students with opportunities to be encouraged to develop their empathy, critical thinking and creativity while connecting them to their nation's history. 

My ideas for the integration of The First Fleet (History) into Drama in a creative and engaging way are to have students perform through role play with historical reenactments. 
How I would do this:
Students would be assigned roles that represent different groups involved in the First Fleet, such as British settlers, Indigenous Australians, or the convicts. Students would need to research their role in order to understand the perspective of their role to successfully play it. A role-play activity would then be organised where the students would act out scenes using their research and knowledge, from on board the ships, the First Fleet arrival, interactions between different groups, daily life during that time, or the establishment of the first settlement. Students will be encouraged to use their imagination to understand the challenges likely experienced by those involved.  

Other cross-curriculum drama integration ideas:
1. English - Students could perform a monologue, play or skit, etc. to communicate to an audience about a book or a movie.
2. HPE - Students may be required to perform a rhythmic sequence that they could integrate drama into
3. Science - Drama integration into science can help deepen their understanding of topic. A Freeze Frame could be used to help model what is being learnt]]> 2023-10-02 03:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tahlidaws01/5ct83htjucwvluv/wish/2727925055
