Section 210:15-3-114 - Overview of Oklahoma Academic Standards for Fine Arts(a)Introduction. The Oklahoma Standards for Fine Arts are designed to support all Oklahoma students to develop and achieve artistic literacy and to promote access and equity in the arts. The Standards for Fine Arts encompass dance, drama/theatre, music, and visual art. The standards specify what students should know and be able to do as learners in their discipline at the end of each grade level or course. The order of the standards at any grade level is not meant to imply a sequence of topics and should be considered flexible for the organization of any course.(b)Components of the standards. The standards comprise four artistic processes, each of which has a discipline-specific definition found in the corresponding standards. The artistic processes branch into anchor standards in each discipline. The anchor standards designate specific learning targets at each grade or learning level. The four artistic processes all Oklahoma Academic Standards for Fine Arts consist of are: (1) Creating/Creative Process(2) Performing/Production(3) Connecting/Cultural and Historical Perspectives(4) Responding/Aesthetic Response and Critique Methodologies(c)Proficiency levels.(1)Proficiency levels for dance, drama/theatre, and visual art standards.
