Oideachas Ealaíon: Na hAmharcealaíona

Foramharc

Tá sé shnáithe sa Churaclam Amharcealaíon. Seasann gach snáithe do mhodh chun cumas léirithe an pháiste a fhorbairt. Seo a leanas na snáitheanna sin:

  • Líníocht
  • Péint agus dath
  • Prionta
  • Cré
  • Tógáil
  • Fabraic agus snáithín
Trí na sé shnáithe seo, féachann leanaí ar na seacht n-eilimint físiúla nuair a tá siad ag déanamh ealaíne, nuair a tá siad ag féachaint ar ealaín agus ag freagairt di, agus nuair a spreagann ealaín iad: líne, cruth, foirm, dath agus ton, gréas agus rithim, uigeacht agus feasacht ar spás. Leagann an Curaclam Amharcealaíon béim ar thrí phointe tosaigh do ghníomhaíochtaí ealaíne an pháiste:

  • taithí an phaiste féin
  • samhlaíocht an pháiste
  • breathnóireachtaí an pháiste
Sa Churaclam Amharcealaíon, spreagtar an leanbh chun féachaint ar raon leathan saothar ealaíne.Is trí chaint faoi na saothair ealaíne seo a fhorbraíonn an leanbh íogaireacht i leith na n-eilimintí físiúla agus tósaíonn sé/sí á n-úsáid ina c(h)uid ealaíne féin. I measc na n-amharcealaíon, tá tábhacht faoi leith ag an líníocht sa churaclam, agus is trí líníocht is mó a léirítear forbairt an pháiste san ealaín. Agus ealaín á cruthú tá an próiseas féin chomh tábhachtach leis an táirge deiridh.

Arts Education: Visual arts

Overview

The Visual arts curriculum consists of six strands. Each strand represents a medium for developing the child's expressive abilities. These strands are:

  • Drawing
  • Paint and colour
  • Print
  • Clay
  • Construction
  • Fabric and fibre.
Through these six strands, children explore the following seven visual elements when making, looking at, and responding to art: line, shape, form, colour and tone, pattern
and rhythm, texture and spatial organisation. The Visual arts curriculum emphasises
three starting points for the child's art activities:

  • the child's own experience
  • the child's imagination
  • the child's observations.
In the Visual arts curriculum, the child is encouraged to look at and respond to a wide
variety of artworks. It is through talking about these artworks that the child develops
sensitivity to the visual elements, and begins to use them purposefully in his/her own
art-making. Of all the visual arts media, drawing has primary importance in the Visual
arts curriculum, and it is through drawing that children's development in art is most
evident. In making art, the process of making is as valuable as the final product.
