9 The Arts Key Ideas Maintained Four Separate Courses of Study Dance Music Theatre Arts Visual Arts 9

10 The Arts Key Ideas Sequencing and Progression K Standards Defined at Grade Levels Standards Defined at Proficiency Levels 10

11 The Arts Key Ideas A Closer Look at High School Proficiency Beginning Intermediate Proficient Advanced Standards are for students with no or limited K-8 progression in the arts education discipline (dance, music, theatre arts, or visual arts). Standards are for students who have had a complete K-8 progression or who have achieved beginning level standards in the discipline at the high school level. Standards are for students who have achieved intermediate level standards in the discipline at the high school level. Standards are for students who have achieved proficient level standards in the discipline at the high school level. 11

12 The Arts Key Ideas Essential Standard ML3: Create music using a variety of sound and notational sources Beginning Intermediate Proficient Advanced B.ML.3.1: Produce short, rhythmic improvisations using a variety of traditional and non-traditional sound sources. I.ML.3.1: Use improvisation to create simple melodies over given chord progressions. P.ML.3.1: Produce short, rhythmic and melodic improvisations on given pentatonic melodies and melodies in major and minor keys. A.ML.3.1: Use improvisation to create original melodies over given chord progressions, each in a consistent style, meter, and tonality. 12

13 The Arts Example Key Ideas Prototypical Assessment Essential Standard CP1: Use choreographic principles, structures, and processes to create dances that communicate ideas, experiences, feelings, and images. P.CP.1.1: Create dances using selected dance elements, choreographic principles, structures, processes, and production elements to fulfill choreographic intent and meet aesthetic criteria. Prototypical Assessment AP: Students experiment with the concepts of shape, space, time, and energy using contact improvisation to create new movement designs, spatial configuration, dynamics, and rhythms. Explore sharing weight, partnering, playing with weight, and discovering unpredictable outcomes. Use this exploration as source material to guide the creation of a dance. Evaluate the degree to which the students meet the identified criteria in the creation of their dances.
