Munich International School’s PYP visual art scope and sequence identifies the phase level, appropriate conceptual understandings and learning outcomes considered essential to learning through the visual arts.
The conceptual understandings are divided into the arts strands responding and creating and are further organised through the visual art sub-strands:
- Elements of art and design
- Creative processes
- Visual art in society
- Reflection and appreciation
Through investigating elements of art and design and exploring creative processes, students learn to recognise components such as shape, colour and line in the artwork of others and experiment with these elements in their own work. Students are taught skills and techniques to enable them to express their own ideas through a variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional media, while understanding the importance of caring for their tools and materials.
Students are exposed to diverse cultures through the study of visual art, and develop an awareness of the importance of the visual arts in society.
Students are given opportunities to reflect on their own work and artwork from a variety of cultures and historical periods.
