Sharing art with an audience — Art, 4–6 years
Art can be made for other people to see, hear or notice. Art, 4–6 years.
Art can be shared
When you show a picture, sing a song or perform a small scene, other people become your audience. They look or listen while you share what you made. The audience does not need to make the same choice as you; it notices and responds in its own way.
Why artists show their work
Art is often a way to communicate an idea, feeling or question to someone else. Showing it gives the work a chance to be seen or heard, and gives the audience a chance to think or feel something. Sharing also helps an artist learn how others experience the work.
A short class performance
First, choose a short song or scene and decide who will stand where. Next, practise beginning together, then show it to another group. Look at the audience while you perform, and wait until the end for claps or comments. You have shared an artistic idea, not just made a noise.
The audience is not judging everything
Someone may feel nervous and think every small wobble will ruin the performance. That makes sense when many eyes are watching, but audiences usually notice the whole idea, not one tiny mistake. A pause, a smile and carrying on can be part of a real performance.
Concerts, exhibitions and family moments
People share art at concerts, school displays, museums and family celebrations. A singer shares sound, while a painter shares an image for visitors to look at. The audience may clap, ask questions, smile or simply spend time with the work.
