XXV. Elements of the Arts
STATE GOAL: Know the language of
the arts.
Why This Goal Is
Important: Through observation,
discussion, interpretation and analysis, students learn the “language” of the
arts. They learn to understand how
others express ideas in dance, drama, music and visual art forms. In addition to acquiring knowledge essential
to performance and production, students become arts consumers (e.g., attending
live performances or movies, purchasing paintings or jewelry, or visiting
museums) who understand the basic elements and principles underlying artworks
and are able to critique them.
Learning
Standard A: Understand the sensory elements,
organizational principles, and expressive qualities of the arts.

Creation and Production of the Arts
STATE GOAL: Through creating and performing, understand how works of
art are produced.
Why This Goal Is
Important: Students
acquire skills to produce and perform dance, drama, music and visual art. They learn to use media, tools and
technologies. They learn to shape ideas
and emotions into sounds, images and actions.
As students create and perform their own artworks and review the works
of others, they become more imaginative, strengthen their problem-solving
skills and learn to respond to the creativity of others. Creating and performing are at the core of
the fine arts. Students also learn about
the role of the artist (e.g., dancer, painter, actor, director, scriptwriter,
musician).
Learning
Standard A: Understand processes, traditional tools, and
modern technologies used in the arts.

XXVII: The History and Application of Visual Arts
STATE GOAL: Understand the role
of the arts in civilizations, past and present.
Why This Goal Is
Important: The arts are a record of
civilizations, past and present. Artists
are influenced by—and influence—the times and places in which they live and
work. As students learn through the arts
about people and civilizations, they learn about others and themselves. Also, students learn about careers related to
this goal (e.g., animator, curator, art historian, sound technician).
Learning
Standard A: Analyze how the arts function in history,
society, and everyday life.
