California Arts Standards

California Arts Standards provide a framework for teaching and assessing arts education across visual arts, music, dance, theatre, and media arts. They outline what students should know and be able to do at different grade levels, fostering skills like creativity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. The standards emphasize artistic processes such as creating, performing, responding, and connecting, ensuring a well-rounded arts education that enhances both academic and personal growth. Designed to inspire students and educators, these standards aim to cultivate artistic literacy and appreciation, preparing students for diverse artistic experiences and lifelong engagement with the arts.
