This course discusses movement and dance as strategies for teaching and learning music in the classroom. Topics include: parameters of movement and tempo; parallels and transfers between musical and bodily language; rhythm, movement, and dance as accompaniment to singing, preparation of instrumental skills, and experimentation with and internalization of different musical content; basic techniques and elements of formal dance; basic techniques for dance improvisation and choreographic composition; transcription of dances and proposals; teaching and learning rhythm, movement, and dance as a methodological strategy for acquiring other musical skills; critical evaluation of rhythm, movement, and dance based on classroom performances and productions through observation and analysis of proposals in visual-digital format; design of sessions and teaching units within the general curriculum of the music subject in arts education; knowledge and application of dances of diverse style and origin for primary education.

This course explores the technology involved in digital image creation and multimedia production. It discusses the main digital creation and design tools, classic design principles for effective communication, and the creative and technical phases involved in creating a multimedia design piece. Students develop skills to visualize ideas, plan multimedia campaigns, and present projects coherently and effectively.

This course offers a study of fictional and non-fictional audiovisual narratives, considering both content and expression across the various media, formats, genres, and platforms in which they appear.
