desired outcomes Outcome assessments make standards

This lecture is not about Common CoreExcept to make you aware that

everything else is influenced by the flavor du jour of educational policy– Standardized testing– NCLB– RRT– Business model as it has invaded

ConnectorsArts as Means to WellbeingThe Arts as Community Engagement

The Arts as Communication

Philosophical foundation

The arts are a way of knowing.

Most information is now disseminated through media arts. Understanding this form of art is important for communication

Lifelong goal

Artistically literate citizens use a variety of artistic media, symbols and metaphors

They independently create and perform work that expresses and communicates their own ideas,

They analyze/ interpret the artistic communications of others.

The Arts as Creative Personal Realization

Philosophical foundation Participation in each of

the arts as creators, performers, and audience members enables individuals to discover and develop their own creative capacity

This provides a source of lifelong satisfaction.

Lifelong goalArtistically literate citizens find competence in at least one arts discipline They develop sufficient competence to continue active involvement in creating, performing/presentingThey continue responding to art as an adult.

The Arts as Culture, History, and Connectors

Philosophical foundation Throughout history the arts have

provided ways to express ideas, experiences, feelings, and deepest beliefs.

Each discipline shares common goals, but approaches them through distinct media and techniques.

Understanding artwork provides insights into ’ cultures and societies,

Understanding Arts also provides opportunities to access, express, and integrate meaning across a variety of content areas.

Lifelong goalArtistically literate citizens know and understand artwork from varied historical periods and cultures, They actively seek and appreciate diverse forms and genres of artwork of enduring quality/significance They also seek to understand relationships among the arts, and cultivate habits of searching for and identifying patterns, relationships between the arts and other

knowledge.

Arts as Means to Wellbeing

Philosophical Foundation Participation in the arts as

creators, performers, and audience members (responders) enhances mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

Lifelong goalArtistically literate citizens find joy, inspiration, peace, intellectual stimulation, meaning, and other life-enhancing qualities through participation in all of the arts.

The Arts as Community Engagement

The arts provide means for individuals to collaborate/connect with others – enjoyable inclusive

environment– creating, preparing,

sharing artwork brings communities together.

Artistically literate citizens

– seek artistic experience– and support the arts

local, state, national, global communities.

Philosophical foundation

Lifelong goal

This is guided by Anchor standardsBut it’s not quite clear to me what those

are specifically.
