Understanding the function and purpose of the elements of art and principles of design assists with forming an appreciation of how art and design enhance functionality and improve quality of living. | 1.1.5.D.1 | Identify elements of art and principles of design that are evident in everyday life. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The elements of art and principles of design are universal. | 1.1.5.D.2 | Compare and contrast works of art in various mediums that use the same art elements and principles of design. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Art and culture reflect and affect each other. | 1.2.5.A.1 | Recognize works of dance, music, theatre, and visual art as a reflection of societal values and beliefs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Characteristic approaches to content, form, style, and design define art genres. | 1.2.5.A.2 | Relate common artistic elements that define distinctive art genres in dance, music, theatre, and visual art. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The elements of art and principles of design can be applied in an infinite number of ways to express personal responses to creative problems. | 1.3.5.D.1 | Work individually and collaboratively to create two- and three-dimensional works of art that make cohesive visual statements and that employ the elements of art and principles of design. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Contextual clues to culturally specific thematic content, symbolism, compositional approach, and stylistic nuance are prevalent in works of art throughout the ages. | 1.3.5.D.2 | Identify common and distinctive characteristics of artworks from diverse cultural and historical eras of visual art using age-appropriate stylistic terminology (e.g., cubist, surreal, optic, impressionistic), and experiment with various compositional approaches influenced by these styles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Each of the genres of visual art (e.g., realism, surrealism, abstract/non objective art, conceptual art, and others) is associated with appropriate vocabulary and a stylistic approach to art-making. | 1.3.5.D.3 | Identify common and distinctive characteristics of genres of visual artworks (e.g., realism, surrealism, abstract/non objective art, conceptual art, and others) using age-appropriate terminology, and experiment with various compositional approaches influenced by these genres. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The characteristics and physical properties of the various materials available for use in art-making present infinite possibilities for potential application. | 1.3.5.D.4 | Differentiate drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, and computer imaging by the physical properties of the resulting artworks, and experiment with various art media and art mediums to create original works of art. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are many types of aesthetic arrangements for the exhibition of art. Creating or assembling gallery exhibitions requires effective time management and creative problem-solving skills. | 1.3.5.D.5 | Collaborate in the creation of works of art using multiple art media and art mediums, and present the completed works in exhibition areas inside and outside the classroom. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Works of art may be organized according to their functions and artistic purposes (e.g., genres, mediums, messages, themes). | 1.4.5.A.1 | Employ basic, discipline-specific arts terminology to categorize works of dance, music, theatre, and visual art according to established classifications. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Formalism in dance, music, theatre, and visual art varies according to personal, cultural, and historical contexts. | 1.4.5.A.2 | Make informed aesthetic responses to artworks based on structural arrangement and personal, cultural, and historical points of view. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Criteria for determining the aesthetic merits of artwork vary according to context. Understanding the relationship between compositional design and genre provides the foundation for making value judgments about the arts. | 1.4.5.A.3 | Demonstrate how art communicates ideas about personal and social values and is inspired by an individual’s imagination and frame of reference (e.g., personal, social, political, historical context). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Identifying criteria for evaluating performances results in deeper understanding of art and art-making. | 1.4.5.B.1 | Assess the application of the elements of art and principles of design in dance, music, theatre, and visual artworks using observable, objective criteria. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Decoding simple contextual clues require evaluation mechanisms, such as rubrics, to sort fact from opinion. | 1.4.5.B.2 | Use evaluative tools, such as rubrics, for self-assessment and to appraise the objectivity of critiques by peers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
While there is shared vocabulary among the four arts disciplines of dance, music, theatre, and visual art, each also has its own discipline-specific arts terminology. | 1.4.5.B.3 | Use discipline-specific arts terminology to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of works of dance, music, theatre, and visual art. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Levels of proficiency can be assessed through analyses of how artists apply the elements of art and principles of design. | 1.4.5.B.4 | Define technical proficiency, using the elements of the arts and principles of design. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Artists and audiences can and do disagree about the relative merits of artwork. When assessing works of dance, music, theatre and visual art, it is important to consider the context for the creation and performance of the work (e.g., Who was the creator? What purpose does the artwork serve? Who is the intended audience?) | 1.4.5.B.5 | Distinguish ways in which individuals may disagree about the relative merits and effectiveness of artistic choices in the creation and performance of works of dance, music, theatre, and visual art. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
