In 2001, the State Department of Education put in place
Content Standards in the Visual and Performing Arts (dance, music, theatre, and
visual arts), kindergarten through twelfth grade. They fall under the following
categories at each grade level:
- Artistic
Perception: Looking at and describing the art
- Creative
Expression: Doing or performing the art
- Historical and
Cultural Context: Putting art in its place in history or in its culture
- Aesthetic
Valuing: Making judgments and interpretations about art
- Connections,
Relationships, and Applications: Fitting one art form into another, into other
subject areas and into careers
The arts are considered one of the six core subjects by the State Department of
Education and in the No Child Left Behind law.
