Traditional instrumental ensembles and clay slab pottery characterise Grade 6 Creative Arts during Term 3, delivering 43 dynamic periods over 9 pages. Activities integrate Spotlight Music and Spotlight Physical Health Education Grade 6 course materials.
- Instrumental Ensembles: combining traditional percussion drums, reed wind pipes, and bowed strings, maintaining tempo synchronization, and performing polyrhythms in weeks 1 and 2.
- Slab Pottery Methods: rolling flat clay slabs with wooden rolling pins, joining leather-hard walls with clay slip, and smoothing surface seams across weeks 2 and 3.
- Burnishing and Firing: polishing clay pots with smooth river pebbles, air-drying wares slowly, and bisque firing craft vessels in kiln setups in weeks 3 and 4.
- Art Critiques and Exhibition: evaluating group musical performances, displaying fired earthenware, and taking practical term evaluations across weeks 5 to 8.
Students refine ensemble musicianship and ceramic craftsmanship through open-air performances, studio pottery drills, and portfolio records.
