Creative Arts in K-6 is designed to enable students to gain increasing understanding and accomplishment in the visual arts, music, drama and dance. Creative Arts is also designed for students to appreciate the meanings and values that each of the artforms offers personally, culturally and as a form of communication.
The artforms can be thought about in a variety of ways. They play a significant role in how meaning is made in people's lives. Visual arts, music, drama and dance offer students of all ages opportunities for personal expression, enjoyment, creative action, imagination, emotional response, aesthetic pleasure and the creation of shared meanings.
