Mt. Hope High School
The Arts: Visual Arts
The standards on this page come from
The
National Standards for Arts Education, developed by the Consortium
of National Arts Education Associations. (There are additional standards
for Dance,
Music,
and Theatre.) The standards document
includes the following description:
The standards establish "proficient" and "advanced"
achievement standards for grades 9-12 in each discipline. The proficient
level is intended for students who have completed courses of study involving
relevant skills and knowledge in that discipline for one to two years beyond
grade 8. The advanced level is intended for students who have completed
courses of study involving relevant skills and knowledge in that discipline
for three to four years beyond grade 8. Students at the advanced level
are expected to achieve the standards established for the proficient as
well as the advanced levels. Every student is expected to achieve the
proficient level in at least one arts discipline by the time he or she
graduates from high school.
