Latest version.
  • (a)   Visual art - general standards. The visual arts curriculum is organized under four major strands: Presenting, Responding, Creating, and Connecting. Each strand provides a clear outline of what students are to know across grade levels while providing unifying threads of understanding in support of the goals and objectives within the Visual Art standards. Presenting, responding, creating, and connecting are the strands in which all aspects of visual art can be organized and defined as follows:
    (1)   "Presenting" refers to presenting or demonstrating something about an existing artwork, informally or formally, using a process that calls upon the technical expressive, and interpretive skills of the learner.
    (2)   "Responding" refers to synthesizing knowledge of visual art in relation to history, culture, heritage, or other content areas, ideas, and life-long learning.
    (3)   "Creating" refers to expressing ideas and feelings through the creating of visual art.
    (4)   "Connecting" refers to analyzing, critiquing, describing, and evaluating visual artworks.
    (b)   General music - general standards. The strands define the major elements of music that are relevant across grade levels and provide unifying threads of understanding supporting the goals and objectives of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for General Music. Responding, Connecting, Performing, and Creating are the strands in which all aspects of music can be defined as follows:
    (1)   "Responding" refers to listening, analyzing, critiquing, describing, evaluating, and moving to musical works.
    (2)   "Connecting" refers to synthesizing knowledge of music in relation to history, culture, heritage, or other content areas, ideas, and life-long learning.
    (3)   "Performing" refers to presenting or demonstrating an existing work, informally or formally; a process that calls upon the technical, expressive, and interpretive skills of the learner.
    (4)   "Creating" refers to expressing ideas and feelings through improvising, composing, arranging, and interpreting music.
    (c)   Media arts - general standards. The Media Arts standards are embedded within the visual arts and general music content standards, and can be used to design curriculum in animation, film studies, graphic design, sound design and recording, digital photography, audio-video communication technology, broadcasting, journalism, performing arts, printing technology, telecommunications, and the visual arts.
