EDAR516: Program Planner | Assessment Task 3

Gyotaku: Aquatic Impressions.


Gyotaku: Aquatic Impressions is a compressive program planner that is designed for bands 7-8, based on the expectations of the
Australian Curriculum and AusVELS for The Arts (Visual Art). This unit of work is designed to align with my practicum school,
Marymede Catholic College. Marymede Catholic College runs on a rotating two-week timetable with 50 minute lessons, students in
year 8 have 4 lessons in Visual art a fortnight, 2 lessons per week.
The program provides teaching and learning material and explicitly covers the cross-curriculum priority areas of Asia and Australias
engagement with Asia and Sustainability. The countries of the Asian region are becoming increasingly important to Australia from
an economic and a cultural perspective. Our closest neighbours and major trading partners, the countries of the Asian region also
represent the cultural heritage of a growing number of Australians. The Sustainability priority of Gyotuku: Aquatic Impressions
enables the exploration of the role of the Arts in maintaining and transforming cultural practices. It also enables students to express
and develop world views, and appreciate the need for collaboration within and between communities to implement more
sustainable patterns of living. The Australian Curriculum established that, by the time they leave school, all young people will have
developed Asia literacy through gaining foundational and in-depth knowledge, skills and understandings of the histories,
geographies, societies, arts, literatures and languages of the diverse countries of Asia and their engagement with Australia.
(National Statement on Asia Literacy in Australian Schools, 2011-2012).
This program planner promotes Intercultural Understanding, Critical and creative thinking, Ethical understanding, Personal and
Social capability, Literacy (English literacy, Japanese (Language) literacy and Visual literacy) and ICT capability.
The Arts embody some of the most significant and recognizable works, products and records of all cultural history so this
Gyotaku: Aquatic Impressions program has a strong connection to the learning area of history. As the practice of Gyotaku involves
understanding the anatomy of fish, science also plays a role in this topic. Other learning areas that are strongly connected to this
topic are English, Geography and Language (Japanese) - which all strengthen and support student learning.
This program planner is an "ideal vehicle through which teachers can provide opportunities for all students to find their voice, and
gain understanding of the voices of others." (Smith, 2011. Pg.22). It also helps teachers to develop deeper insights into teaching for
diversity. It enables them to make the connection between being culturally inclusive in thought and in action.
Gyotaku: Aquatic Impressions aims to:
engage teachers and students in acquiring authentic and culturally respectful information
build factual knowledge about art, history, geography, religion, cultural traditions, the role of the artist and the use of materials and
techniques

support teachers and students in developing skills in intercultural understanding


develop Asia literacy, the understanding and valuing of the wealth of artistic and cultural traditions of Asia, and the links we share
across countries and cultures.
develop understanding of Japanese histories and traditions through the Arts, engaging with the artworks and practices, both
traditional and contemporary.
Learn how to create an art form established by the Japanese fisherman centuries ago.
Learn about the anatomy of a fish including the names of external parts of a fish.
Gyotaku: Aquatic Impressions has the potential for students to reach the following outcomes.
Students should be able to:
Acquire authentic and culturally respectful information.
be cognizant about Gyotaku Japanese Art, History, Geography, Religion, Cultural traditions, the role of artists and their use of
materials and techniques.
acquire skills in intercultural understanding
be aware of the links between counties and culture in Australia
understand Japanese histories and traditions through the Arts by engaging with artworks and practices, both traditional and
contemporary.
Create an art form that was established by Japanese fisherman centuries ago.
Recognize and name the external parts of a fish.

Demonstration
given by the
teacher

1 Gather the students around your already set up Direct method of

repeat the steps while you actually complete the process.
2 Give students the written step by step process to assist them
when completing their own prints.

Gyotaku
printing tools,
and materials.

3 Allow time for students to practise printing to get the desired result.
Ensure you stress to them to keep all copies to paste into their books
later on as development. Also highlight students are to annotate these
in their visual diary after they have dried - using subject specific
language (art elements and principles).
It is expected for students to create as many trials as they can, but
the minimum for assessment is four.

Walk around the room and see


how everyone is travelling if
you see more than 1 student
not doing it right stop and
complete a second
demonstration.
Continue to make comments to
the class reinforcing the steps
of the process.

The work students


produce the
process made and
learnt.

Closure (Packdown): (Options include summarising or reflecting on


the learning achievements/analysing errors; preparation for future
lessons etc):
10 mins

Allow 10 minutes for packdown: students are expected to name all


their work and leave it on the drying rack, clean their rubber fish at the
sink (dry with a paper towel and placed in the bucket provided at the
front of the room), bring ink and cloths to the teachers desk and wipe
down their table with a sponge.
There should be time for a quick question and answer discussion
session, to reiterate the lessons objectives before the bell goes.
