Content Statement | CPI# | Cumulative Progress Indicator (CPI) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sometimes the contributions of an individual artist can influence a generation of artists and signal the beginning of a new art genre. | 1.2.5.A.3 | Determine the impact of significant contributions of individual artists in dance, music, theatre, and visual art from diverse cultures throughout history. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8.1 Educational Technology: All students will use digital tools to access, manage, evaluate, and synthesize information in order to solve problems individually and collaborate and to create and communicate knowledge. SOC.6.1.4.B.1 Compare and contrast information that can be found on different types of maps and determine how the information may be useful. LA.3.RL.3.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, distinguishing literal from nonliteral language. LA.3.RL.3.1 Ask and answer questions, and make relevant connections to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers. HPE.2.2.4.A.2 Demonstrate effective interpersonal communication when responding to disagreements or conflicts with others. MA.3.3.MD.D.8 Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters. MA.3.3.G.A.1 Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories. HPE.2.1.4.D.4 Demonstrate simple first-aid procedures for choking, bleeding, burns, and poisoning. HPE.2.1.4.D.1 Determine the characteristics of safe and unsafe situations and develop strategies to reduce the risk of injuries at home, school, and in the community (e.g., fire safety, poison safety, accident prevention). HPE.2.1.4.E.4 Summarize the causes of stress and explain ways to deal with stressful situations. |
