The four interrelated visual art disciplines are as follows:
Aesthetic Education engages students in philosophical
inquiry and reasoning. This involves the study of nature and significance of art, beauty, and aesthetic experience.
Historical, Cultural and Social Contexts emphasize
historical and sociocultural understanding.
Creative Expression and Production provides
students with opportunities to express their ideas and feelings in a variety of two-and-three-dimensional art forms.
Aesthetic Criticism provides students with the
methods and content to make works of art more meaningful and satisfying by knowing how to look at art, what to look for,
and how to discuss and write about art.
