STATE GOAL 25:
Know the language of the arts.
Why This Goal
Is Important: Through
observation, discussion, interpretation and analysis, students learn the
“language” of the arts. They learn to understand how others express ideas in
dance, drama, music and visual art forms. In addition to acquiring knowledge
essential to performance and production, students become arts consumers (e.g.,
attending live performances or movies, purchasing paintings or jewelry, or
visiting museums) who understand the basic elements and principles underlying
artworks and are able to critique them.
A. Understand
the sensory elements, organizational principles and expressive qualities of the
arts.
