STATE GOAL 26:  Through creating and performing, understand how works of art are produced.

 

Why This Goal Is Important:  Students acquire skills to produce and perform dance, drama, music and visual art.  They learn to use media, tools and technologies.  They learn to shape ideas and emotions into sounds, images and actions.  As students create and perform their own artworks and review the works of others, they become more imaginative, strengthen their problem-solving skills and learn to respond to the creativity of others.  Creating and performing are at the core of the fine arts.  Students also learn about the role of the artist (e.g., dancer, painter, actor, director, scriptwriter, musician).
