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 childrens visual and auditory perception (an essential element for
any learning to take place).
The Oxford Education Project for the Second Cycle of Primary Education aims, among
other things, to develop childrens fundamental resources of expression, so they can
acquire communicative competence in different areas. In order for this to be brought
about, two particular areas must be worked on: comprehension and expression.
Comprehension, concerning what the pupil sees and hears, involves working on a
systematic and purposeful observation of natural and artistic elements in childrens
surroundings. In this way they develop their capacity to read them and generally
enrich their ability to express themselves, using the language of art, as well as using
concentration and imagination, creativity, an appreciation of what others have done,
sensitivity towards art and finally an awareness of aesthetic pleasure.
From the above it should be obvious that pupils need to become sufficiently proficient
in using the techniques and resources of this area. But at the same time, they need to
work out their own code, so they can use it when expressing themselves. This code will
be different for each pupil and it will be influenced by the social and cultural context of
the school.

The Pupils Book is made up of 9 units, that is, three per term.
For every three units the book provides a workshop, which is, in effect, one
activity per term that requires the participation and involvement of the group as
a whole.
The following provides a detailed look at the contents of the Pupils Book.
A Motivating introduction
The book begins with a brief introductory description. Children are looking
for Cornelia, the friendly crab, who will be their mascot for the whole school
year.
Cornelia wants to be an artist and there are many reasons why she wants to
begin her journey into the realm of Arts and Crafts. In short, Cornelias
wishes mirror the childrens wishes, which will come to fruition through the
activities in the Pupils Book.
The worksheet
Each worksheet presents an activity covering the requirements set out in
the curriculum for this subject.
A motivating title introduces the activity and the instructions are brief, direct
and very clear.
Cornelia presents the materials that the child will need.
The content covered will be listed at the bottom of the page. This section is
designed for the teachers use.
The workshops
The workshops for each term are characterised by the fact that they are,
above all, large-scale and original. They are activities that involve the whole
group and are of a very transversal nature, that is, adapted to childrens
capacity for working in groups and to the protocol that this involves. Through
these workshops, it will not only be children who will feel proud of the
results, but the rest of the school community as well.
Some elements of the workshop will be created using the worksheets from
the Pupils Book as a starting point. The rest of the workshop will be carried
out following the illustrated instructions that appear in the Pupils Book
accompanied by the teachers help.

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 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 third grade, these subcompetences and the units in which they are
applied are the following:

Health Education.
Worksheet 2 (p. 6): This activity leads to thinking about childrens eating habits,
allowing us to stress the need to include fruit in daily meals, in order to achieve a
healthy and balanced diet.
Non-sexist Education.
Worksheet 2 and Worksheet 3: The activities in these two worksheets and their
relationship to taking care of ones surroundings and environment, leads to thinking
about the cooperation between men and women in society. It also makes us reflect
on the fact that the care for our surroundings is everybodys responsibility.
Environmental Education.
Worksheet 2: This worksheet encourages curiosity about living beings and

artistic expressions as a type of free time activity. This facilitates our development,
enjoyment and use of leisure time, as well as encouraging the appreciation of
artistic expression, ones own works and those of others. In addition, the topic
allows children to consider that ones own materials are something that have to be
taken care of and maintained. By the same token, we can emphasize the rules of
use, safety and maintenance of working tools.
