STANDARD 1.2 (CREATION AND PERFORMANCE) ALL STUDENTS WILL UTILIZE THOSE SKILLS, MEDIA, METHODS, AND TECHNOLOGIES APPROPRIATE TO EACH ART FORM IN THE CREATION, PERFORMANCE, AND PRESENTATION OF DANCE, MUSIC, THEATER, AND VISUAL ART.

 

Descriptive Statement: Through developing products and performances in the arts, students enhance their perceptual, physical, and technical skills and learn that pertinent techniques and technologies apply to the successful completion of the tasks.  The development of sensory acuity (perceptual skills) enables students to perceive and acknowledge various viewpoints.  Appropriate physical movements, dexterity, and rhythm pertain to such activities as brush strokes in painting, dance movement, and fingering of musical instruments.

 

Active participation in the arts is essential to deep understanding of the imaginative and creative processes of the arts as they relate to the self and others.  Involvement in the presentational aspects of art and art making also leads to awareness and understanding of arts-related careers.
