Standards
There is considerable research on the academic value of
students receiving instruction in the Visual Arts. All
District 11 art classes are taught by qualified art
teachers. Students will learn the elements of art and
principles of design. They will learn about art in
relation to history, culture, and the community. They
will also recognize and use the visual arts as a form of
communication, and will critique works of art through
analysis, assessment, and evaluation. Informal and
formalized assessments of each student's level of
mastery begin and continue throughout the course.
