Art is an important means of self-expression. The Georgia Performance Standards for Visual Art builds opportunities for children to develop innate sensibilities through making and studying art. As students are guided through visual, tactile, and manipulative art experiences, they build important mental constructs. The standards guide development of the students' technical abilities and higher-order thinking skills. This sequenced, developmentally appropriate set of standards for elementary art has been designed to develop aesthetic understanding, creative thinking, perceptual awareness, artistic skills and knowledge, historical and cultural context, critical analysis, and connections to other disciplines.
Theater
Theater - Literature, Storytelling & Film
Storytelling as, Curriculum - with students
Theater Standards - As a powerful educational tool, Theatre addresses a child's complex intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and cultural world. As an intellectual tool, Theatre not only teaches facts and figures, but routinely invites analysis, judgment, and synthesis. As a social tool, Theatre encourages cooperative learning, team work, organization, and leadership skills, however, Theatres forte is in the emotional arena, where participants are able to not only express emotion in a safe environment, but more pertinently, able to learn how to calibrate their emotional responses to various stimuli. In the physical realm, Theatre endows a ll participants with insight and physicality, offering them the opportunity to explore areas of social interaction unavailable in reality. And finally, Theatre plays the dual role of cultural transmitter and filter, disseminating cultural codes and values to the younger generation
