INTRODUCTION
Education in Art, which covers both Music and Arts and Crafts, introduces children to a
system of specific forms (pictures and sounds) that they can then use to express
themselves with and to represent what they see and hear around them. Together with
language, these forms constitute the symbolic universe in which all human life exists. In
fact, the modern world is so full of messages and images, transmitted by so many
means of communication, that children are constantly bombarded with information.
This makes it difficult for them to sift through it all and select the correct messages.
The connection between Education in Art and other areas of the syllabus is clearly
discernible from the many ways in which children use the competencies that they learn
in the areas of visual art and music. Concentration, reflection, creativity, the ability to
experiment with materials, to work in a group, and in general to value artistic and
cultural works are all skills that are essential to learning itself. Education in Art
contributes to the attainment of the objectives of Primary Education by, among other
things, encouraging children’s visual and auditory perception (an essential element for
any learning to take place).
The Oxford Educación Project for the Third Cycle of Primary Education aims to develop
children’s means of expression, so that they can acquire communicative competence in
different areas. In order to achieve this, two specific areas are focussed upon:
comprehension and expression. Comprehension – developing children’s ability to
understand and interpret what they see and hear around them – involves a systematic
and purposeful observation of natural and artistic features from their surroundings. In
this way, children develop their capacity to ‘read’ the signs around them and enhance
their ability to express themselves using the language of art. They also develop: the
ability to concentrate and use their imaginations; their creative skills; their ability to
appreciate what others have done; their artistic and aesthetic sensitivity; and their
ability to take pleasure in art.
Pupils need to develop proficiency in both interpreting art and using different artistic
techniques. But it is also important that they work out their own code to use for
expressing themselves. This code will be different for each pupil, and it will also be
influenced by the social and cultural context of their school.
The final objective is to deepen children’s aesthetic awareness. Throughout the course,
they will be exposed to a wide range of art forms, tools and techniques, which will help
to develop their interest in art and their artistic tastes. They will have a series of
enriching encounters with art in its many different forms, including music, song, dance,
painting, sculpture, architecture and photography. They will also be introduced to
artefacts, traditions and folklore from the cultural heritage of their own and other
countries.

The Pupil’s Book is composed of nine units, that is, three per term.
A motivating introduction
The book begins with a brief introductory description in which pupils meet
their mascot for the whole school year.
The worksheets
Each worksheet includes an activity which covers the prescribed subject
content as set out in the curriculum.
A motivating title introduces the activity, and brief, clear and direct
instructions are given.
The mascot for the year presents the materials that pupils will need to use
to complete the activity.
The subject content covered is listed at the bottom of the page for the
teacher’s reference.
The workshops
The workshops for each term are extended activities that are original and
motivating. They are activities that require whole-class participation and
group work, and help children to develop the ability to work together
harmoniously and effectively as a team. The works of art created in the
workshops will fill both the pupils themselves, and the wider school
community, with a sense of achievement and pride.
Some of the workshops build on activities that have already been completed
for earlier worksheets, using the pictures or objects that children made for
them. Others present entirely new projects which can be completed with the
teacher’s guidance, following the illustrated instructions provided in the
Pupil’s Book.

The Teacher’s Book contains teaching notes and suggestions for all of the
content covered in the Pupil’s Book; for the units and workshops, as well as for
the Reinforcement and Extension activities.
THE RESOURCES CD
The Teacher’s Book for Arts and Crafts is organised into nine units, three
workshops and three appendices.
Each unit is divided into three sections: Programme of study for the unit,
Teaching notes for each worksheet in the Pupil’s Book, and an Assessment
chart.
Each unit begins with a double-page spread which provides a scheme of work
for the unit, and gives an overview of the curriculum objectives covered in it.
The unit PROGRAMME includes objectives, subject content (concepts,
procedures and attitudes) and evaluation criteria.
The BASIC COMPETENCES table details the core skills covered in each of
the activities, and provides references to the corresponding evaluation
criteria.

BASIC COMPETENCES
In recent years, several EU countries, including Spain, have worked together with the
goal of identifying basic and key learning principles.
The aim of incorporating these competences into the educational curriculum is to focus
learning. As a result, students integrate such learning, relate different types of
contents, use learning effectively when necessary, and apply it in different situations
and contexts.
The basic competences are not considered minimum common learning. In fact, there
are wider learning proposals which should focus instruction on identifying essential
contents and assessment criteria.
The basic competences do not replace the elements presently included in the
curriculum: area or subject objectives, contents, methodology and assessment criteria.
However, they complement these elements by proposing an integrative focus oriented
toward the application of acquired learning.
Based on this objective, it can be inferred that the competences are not mastered
through a unique curriculum area or subject. Each of the areas contributes to the
development of different competences and, in turn, each of the basic competences is
achieved as a result of working in several areas and subjects.
The assessment criteria should serve as the main reference to identify the
developmental level of the abilities included in the area or subject matter, as well as
the acquisition level of the basic competences.

diagnostic assessment of the basic competences reached by the student body. It also
establishes that the educational administration will be responsible for such
assessment, which will be aimed at training and orientation for schools and at
informing families and the educational community as a whole.
Previously we have indicated which are the basic competences that make up our
educational system, competences that by their own formulation are, inevitably, quite
generic. If we want them to serve as a reference for educational activity and to
demonstrate the real competence achieved by the student (in evaluation, for example),
we have to clarify them far more, breaking them down, always in relation with other
elements from the curriculum. In what we call subcompetences, which are not intended
to be more than types of operating statements that are the consequence of the
integrated analysis of the curriculum in order to achieve some functional learning,
expressed in a fashion that allows for their identification by way of different educational
agents.
In this area and fifth grade, these subcompetences and the units in which they are
applied are the following:
