MEDDYLFRYD - DATBLYGU R CWRICWLWM CYMREIG MINDSET - DEVELOPING Y CWRICWLWM CYMREIG Because Welsh society is very diverse, there can be no single view of what it is to be Welsh. People s perceptions vary, often coloured by the way of life in their own particular region of Wales, its linguistic, cultural and economic background. Yet all the pupils in our schools share the common experience of LIVING and LEARNING IN WALES in Wales. They are entitled to have this experience reflected in the school curriculum. Developing the Curriculum Cymreig (ACCAC,2003:5)

GOFYNION PAHAM? REQUIREMENTS WHY? Y Cwricwlwm Cymreig is identified as a STATUTORY common requirement throughout all the revised NC docs from the Welsh Government (2008). The GCSE specification notes that pupils should: develop knowledge, understanding and the capability to evaluate - - a variety of approaches, methods and intentions of contemporary and historical artists - - - from different cultures and their contribution to continuity and change in society (WJEC, GCSE Art & Design Specification, 2009:7). Standards for Qualified Teacher Status - S2.2, demands that students should provide pupils with opportunities to : develop and apply their knowledge and understanding of the cultural, economic, environmental, historical and linguistic characteristics of Wales (the Curriculum Cymreig). ESTYN claim YCC is underdeveloped.- 2013, WG working party in place to explore its place in the school curriculum.

TYSTIOLAETH POSIBL POSSIBLE EVIDENCE POSSIBILITIES: Examine Welsh works of art as a starting point to exploring national IDENTITY: o LANDSCAPE o INDUSTRY o HISTORY o CULTURE o LANGUAGE o LITERATURE o MYTHS AND LEGENDS o PEOPLE o POLITICS

PERSBECTIF MYFYRWYR STUDENTS PERSPECTIVE Addison and Burgess (2003:159) note that many PGCE students: ---- remember the fixity of school art, the rehearsal of long-tried experiments and stultifying exercises, the former exploring teenage identity and angst the latter based on reflections in bottles and negative spaces between upended stools. Such practice is given credibility by reference to the work of exemplary artists (rarely designers or craftspeople, the exceptions being Morris and Gaudi): for example the ubiquitous experiments in alienation in the forms of pastiches of Munch, Kahlo and African masks, explorations of beauty in the form of transcriptions of ideal portraits and exercises based on artists whose perceptual development is seen to depend on studying everyday objects: apples, Cezanne; flowers, O Keeffe; water, Monet.

DATBLYGU R CWRICWLWM CYMREIG DEVELOPING Y CWRICWLWM CYMREIG The ACCAC (2003:2) publication notes the following: A Curriculum Cymreig helps pupils to understand and celebrate the distinctive quality of living and learning in Wales in the twenty-first century, to identify their own sense of Welshness and to feel a heightened sense of belonging to their local community and country. It also helps to foster in pupils an outward-looking and international Wales, promoting global citizenship and concern for sustainable development.

CYNLLUN GWAITH / SCHEME OF WORK Scheme of work: Pupils introduced to YCC within the theme of belonging by investigating the meaning of community through contemporary Welsh artist Owen Griffiths tea pavilion in Swansea market; Pupils will begin to understand the concept of the social gathering as artwork. Activities involve 'mark making' using tea and the use of chance and accident to create an artwork. Learners will investigate the importance of ESDGC by using recycled materials to make hand-made paper. Work will culminate in the making of a 3D paper teacups in the style of another Welsh artist: Becky Adams. Additionally, pupils will create an invitation using their hand-made paper, inviting a friend to an end-of-project tea party to share the ritual of drinking tea.
