works, art vocabulary, skills development, and learning about
the elements and principles of design.
- Demonstrate Aesthetic Perception
- Focus upon acute awareness, well-developed
observation, appreciation, taste, sense of beauty, intuitiveness,
insight, and comprehension.
- Develop a Knowledge of Art
Heritage
- Delineates the expected outcomes
of learning about cultures, individual artists, art masterpieces,
and art careers.
- Utilize Critical Judgment of
the Visual Arts
- Refers to recognition of differences,
evaluation, analysis, comparison, appraisal, discrimination, and
wisdom in artistic choices.
These goals, through which the learning
outcomes of the art program are determined, are aligned with the
DoDEA K-12 Visual Arts Standards and the
National Standards for Visual Arts Education.
The K-12 Visual Arts Standards provide
a framework for students to:
- Learn the visual arts by using
a wide range of subject matter, symbols, meaningful images, and
visual expressions.
- Reflect their ideas, feelings
and emotions.
- Evaluate the merits of their efforts.
The Visual Arts Standards also address
these objectives by promoting the acquisition of:
- New ways of thinking, working,
communicating, reasoning, and investigation.
- Enduring ideas, concepts, issues,
dilemmas and knowledge.
- New techniques, approaches, and
work habit
