National+Art+Standards

I've always believed in teaching using these standards promoted by the J.Paul Getty Institute as part of a concept called Discipline Based Art Education (DBAE) - this was drilled into me my my professors at Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska (CUNE).


 * 1. Art Production**: Understanding and applying media, techniques, and processes


 * 2. Aesthetics:** Using knowledge of structures (elements) and functions(principles)


 * 3. Personal Expression**: Choosing and evaluating a range of subject matter, symbols, and ideas (content)


 * 4. Art History**: Understanding the visual arts in relation to history and cultures


 * 5. Art Criticism**: Reflecting upon and assessing the characteristics and merits of their work and the work of others (evaluation)


 * 6. Integration**: Making connections between visual arts and other disciplines
