What Year 7 The Arts students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 7 The Arts standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They describe respectful approaches to composing, performing and/or responding to music.
- They manipulate elements of music and compositional devices to compose music that communicates ideas, perspectives and/or meaning.
- They present their work to an audience.
- By the end of year 8, students analyse the use of media arts concepts to construct representations that communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning in media arts works they produce and/or experience.
- They evaluate the ways that visual artists across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning through their visual arts practice.
- By the end of Year 8, students analyse how elements of drama and/or conventions are manipulated in drama they create and/or experience.
The Exploring and responding progression either side of AC9AMU8E01
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
