Four basic strands--perception, creative expression/performance, historical and cultural heritage, and critical
evaluation--provide broad, unifying structures for organizing knowledge and skills students are expected to acquire. SPEECH CLASSES
Through perceptual studies, students increase their understanding of self and others and develop clear ideas about the world.
Through a variety of theatrical experiences, students communicate in a dramatic form, make artistic choices, solve problems,
build positive self-concepts, and relate interpersonally. Students increase
their understanding of heritage and traditions through historical and cultural studies in theatre. Student response and evaluation
promote thinking and further discriminating judgment, developing students who are appreciative and evaluative consumers of
live theatre, film, television, and other technologies.
Students rely on their perceptions of the environment, developed through increasing
visual awareness and sensitivity to surroundings, memory, imagination, and life experiences, as a source for creating artworks.
They express their thoughts and ideas creatively, while challenging their imagination, fostering reflective thinking, and
developing disciplined effort and problem-solving skills. By analyzing
artistic styles and historical periods students develop respect for the traditions and contributions of diverse cultures.
Students respond to and analyze artworks, thus contributing to the development of lifelong skills of making informed judgments
and evaluations. BAND and CHOIR In music, students develop
their intellect and refine their emotions, understanding the cultural and creative nature of musical artistry and making connections
among music, the other arts, technology, and other aspects of social life. By
reflecting on musical periods and styles, students understand music's role in history and are able to participate successfully
in a diverse society. Students analyze and evaluate music, developing criteria for making critical judgments and informed
choices.
