INSTITUTION Arkansas State Dept. of Education, Little Rock. PUB DATE 2001-00-00 NOTE 91p. PUB TYPE Legal/Legislative/Regulatory Materials (090) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academic Standards; Benchmarking; Dance; Elementary Secondary Education; *Fine Arts; Music; Public Schools; State Curriculum Guides; *State Standards; *Student Educational Objectives; Theater Arts; Visual Arts IDENTIFIERS Arkansas ABSTRACT This curriculum framework exists to guide the fine arts curriculum in grades K-12 in Arkansas public schools. The framework's student learning expectations are specific to what all students in those grades should know and be able to do in the arts (visual arts, music, dance, theater) during that span of years. The framework's content standards (Inquire, Explore, Discover; Create; Reflect, Respond, Rediscover) represent a cyclical process for art making and responding to art. All components of the framework are interrelated, with no particular order of importance because each is dependent on the other. The framework first delineates content standards for the visual arts strand of fine arts, stating what is expected of students at grades K-4, grades 5-8, and grades 9-12. It provides a visual art glossary and visual art scenarios. The framework provides similar information for the music strand, for the dance strand, and for the theater strand.
