§117.5. Art,
Grade 1.
(a) Introduction.
(1) Four basic strands--perception,
creative expression/performance, historical and cultural heritage,
and critical evaluation--provide broad, unifying structures
for organizing the knowledge and skills students are expected
to acquire. 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.

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.
