Methodology. This class will include, audio, visual, reading, writing,

and hands-on strategies to teach art while improving
students English capacities. Although the main language
of the class is English, use of other languages to better
understand or express ones self is encouraged.
Therefore, translaguaging will be used in various
activities. Throughout the course, students will be
working in groups on project-based activities to enhance
learning. Cooperation is a highly valued asset in this
class. We will collaborate with the teachers of other
subjects to create an interdisciplinary project.

Teaching and learning activities. Students will be working on hands-on activities to

complete the composition and artistic expression aspects
of the class. Emphasis will be placed on project-based
learning and group activities. The video production unit
will consist of learning the basics of producing a video,
and the language used, through videos and in class
activities. They will get a chance to exercise their
audiovisual knowledge and new vocabulary through a
 cooperative video project.

The video project covers block 3 of this class:

audiovisual language and elements, as well as touches
bases on blocks 1 and 2 through the other classes
involved. Students will become more aware of
audiovisual communications, while producing a
multimedia project. The bulk of the art class section of
the project will be dedicated to audiovisual language,
familiarizing students with terms used in
cinematography and introducing vocabulary.
