What Students Should Know
and Be Able to Do in the Fine Arts
(Adapted from the Summary of
the National Standards for Arts Education)
There are many routes to
competence in the arts disciplines. Students may work in different arts at
different times. Their study may take a variety of approaches. Their abilities
may develop at different rates. Competence means the ability to use an array of
knowledge and skills. Terms often used to describe these include creation,
performance, production, history, culture, perception, analysis, criticism,
aesthetics, technology, and appreciation. Competence means capabilities with
these elements themselves and an understanding of their interdependence; it also
means the ability to combine the content, perspectives, and techniques
associated with the various elements to achieve specific artistic and analytical
goals. Students work toward comprehensive competence from the very beginning,
preparing in the lower grades for deeper and more rigorous work each succeeding
year. As a result, the joy of experiencing the arts is enriched and matured by
the discipline of learning and the pride of accomplishment.
Fine Arts Mission
Statement
To develop individuals that creatively solve
problems using critical and abstract thinking through progressive,
performance-based curriculum so that students are secure to imagine, discover,
