Students understand the basic skills, techniques and conceptual frameworks unique to the four following art forms: visual art, dance, music and theater/drama. Students respond to and produce art through written, visual or performance modalities that communicate effectively to a diverse audience. Students articulate a personal response to various works of visual and performing arts and communicate the significance of personal and cultural factors that shape their own responses and the cultural and historic factors that influence the responses of a specific audience to works of art.
