Illinois Arts Learning Stards Initiative Recommended Illinois Arts Learning Stards - DRAFT (9/15/15) -------------------- Directions for Reviewing the Draft Recommended Stards: These draft recommended stards are organized into matrix tables. Each discipline (Dance, Media Arts, Music, Theatre, Visual Arts) has its own matrix. The matrix format enables you to follow a single grade down a column covering all of the performance stards for that grade. You can also follow a single set of performance stards across each row to see how it develops PreK High School. Each matrix includes the variety of stards identified by the National Coalition for Core Arts Stards reviewed updated by the Illinois Arts Learning Stards Initiative's Advisory Committee. The various stards are aggregated under Anchor Stards, which are the same across all of the artistic disciplines. The Anchor Stards are not for implementation in the classroom; rather, they are organizational tools for unifying the learning stards for education administrators arts policy makers. In addition, each matrix further organizes the stards into the artistic processes of Creating, Performing/Presenting/Producing, Responding, Connecting. You will also notice there are comment bubbles out the matrix, to indicate the updates made to these IL Arts Learning Stards based on the National Core Arts Stards. These comment bubbles provide the rationale for each update. We are interested in your feedback on these Illinois draft recommended stards. When you have reviewed the matrices of the disciplines that most interest you, please provide us with your feedback a brief questionnaire located at our initiative webpage: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ilartsfeedback The updated learning stards for Visual Arts begin on the next page. 1

GLOSSARY for Updated Illinois Arts Learning Stards: Visual Arts STANDARDS Visual Arts, as defined by the National Art Education Association, include the traditional fine arts such as drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture; media arts including film, graphic communications, animation, emerging technologies; architectural, environmental, industrial arts such as urban, interior, product, lscape design; folk arts; works of art such as ceramics, fibers, jewelry, works in wood, paper, other materials (Revised July 2012) Art In everyday discussions in the history of aesthetics, multiple ( sometimes contradictory) definitions of art have been proposed. In a classic article, The Role of Theory in Aesthetics, Morris Weitz (1956) recommended differentiating between classificatory (classifying) honorific (honoring) definitions of art In the Next Generation Core Visual Arts Stards, the word art is used in the classificatory sense to mean an artifact or action that has been put forward by an artist or other person as something to be experienced, interpreted, appreciated An important component of a quality visual arts education is for students to engage in discussions about honorific definitions of art identifying the wide range of significant features in art-making approaches, analyzing why artists follow or break with traditions discussing their own understings of the s of good art Appropriation Intentional borrowing, copying, alteration of preexisting images objects Artist statement Information about context, explanations of process, descriptions of learning, related stories, reflections, or other details in a written or spoken format shared by the artist to extend deepen understing of his or her artwork; an artist statement can be didactic, descriptive, or reflective in nature Artistic investigations In making art, forms of inquiry exploration; artistic investigation artists go beyond illustrating pre-existing ideas or following directions, students generate fresh insights new ways of seeing knowing Art-making approaches Diverse strategies procedures by which artists initiate pursue making a work Artwork Artifact or action that has been put forward by an artist or other person as something to be experienced, interpreted, appreciated Brainstorm Technique for the initial production of ideas or ways of solving a problem by an individual or group in which ideas are spontaneously contributed without critical comment or judgment Characteristic(s) Attribute, feature, property, or essential quality Characteristics of form ( structure) Terms drawn from traditional, modern, contemporary sources that identify the range of attributes that can be used to describe works of art design to aid students in experiencing perceiving the qualities of artworks, enabling them to create their own work to appreciate interpret the work of others Collaboration Joint effort of working together to formulate solve creative problems Collaboratively Joining with others in attentive participation in an activity of imagining, exploring, /or making Concepts Ideas, thoughts, schemata; art arising out of conceptual experimentation that emphasizes making meaning ideas rather than materiality or form 12
Constructed environment Human-made or modified spaces places; art design-related disciplines such as architecture, urban planning, interior design, game design, virtual environment, lscape design shape the places in which people live, work, play Contemporary artistic practice Processes, techniques, media, procedures, behaviors, actions, conceptual approaches by which an artist or designer makes work using methods that, though they may be based on traditional practices, reflect changing contextual, conceptual, aesthetic, material technical possibilities; examples include artwork made with appropriated images or materials, social practice artworks that involve the audience, performance art, new media works, installations, artistic interventions in public spaces Context Interrelated conditions surrounding the creation experiencing of an artwork, including the artist, viewer/audiences, time, culture, presentation, location of the artwork s creation reception Copyright Form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression, covering both published unpublished works Creative commons Copyright license templates that provide a simple, stardized way to give the public permission to share use creative work on conditions of the maker s choice (http://creativecommons.org/) Creativity Ability to conceive develop rich, original ideas, discover unexpected connections, invent or make new things Criteria In art design, principles that direct attention to significant aspects of a work provide guidelines for evaluating its success Contemporary criteria Principles by which a work of art or design is understood evaluated in contemporary contexts which, for example, include judging not necessarily on originality, but rather on how the work is re-contextualized to create new meanings Established criteria Identified principles that direct attention to significant aspects of various types of artwork in order to provide guidelines for evaluating the work; these may be commonly accepted principles that have been developed by artists, curators, historians, critics, educators others or principles developed by an individual or group to pertain to a specific work of art or design Personal criteria Principles for evaluating art design based on individual preferences Relevant criteria Principles that apply to making, revising, understing, evaluating a particular work of art or design that are generated by identifying the significant s of a work Critique Individual or collective reflective process by which artists or designers experience, analyze, evaluate a work of art or design Cultural contexts Ideas, beliefs, values, norms, customs, traits, practices, s shared by individuals within a group that form the circumstances surrounding the creation, presentation, preservation, response to art Cultural traditions Pattern of practices beliefs within a societal group Curate Collect, sort, organize objects, artworks, artifacts; preserve maintain historical records catalogue exhibits Curator Person responsible for acquiring, caring for, exhibiting objects, artworks, artifacts Design Application of creativity to planning the optimal solution to a given problem communication of that plan to others 13

Page 9: [1] Commented Jay Wade 6/17/2015 9:30:00 PM As written this suggests that it is the goal of arts interpretation (in any discipline) to figure out the artist s intended meaning of an This misundersting of how artworks generate meaning has not been considered relevant since the 1950s. There is even a name for this misundersting: Intentional Fallacy. From Encyclopedia Britannica: Intentional fallacy, term used in 20th-century literary criticism to describe the problem inherent in trying to judge a work of art by assuming the intent or purpose of the artist who created it. Introduced by W.K. Wimsatt, Jr., Monroe C. Beardsley in The Verbal Icon (1954), the approach was a reaction to the popular belief that to know what the author intended what he had in mind at the time of writing was to know the correct interpretation of the work. Although a seductive topic for conjecture frequently a valid appraisal of a work of art, the intentional fallacy forces the literary critic to assume the role of cultural historian or that of a psychologist who must define the growth of a particular artist s vision in terms of his mental physical state at the time of his creative act. Page 9: [2] Commented Owner 4/17/2015 12:34:00 PM Changed from Interpret intent meaning in artistic work. Because The intent of the artist is impossible to know, however, one can research context. Page 9: [3] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 4:59:00 AM Dropped mood left feelings for 2 nd, 3 rd, 4th--outmoded critical language instead emphasizes contemporary interpretative communication theory acknowledging emotion is within viewer. Page 9: [4] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:04:00 AM Dropped 'relevant'. Doesn t make sense to say that aspects of the matter are not relevant. Page 9: [5] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:01:00 AM Dropped odd construction of s of form over clearer more common expression formal s within this Anchor Stard Page 9: [6] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:05:00 AM Added language more in accord with EU for this row of stards, emphasizing interpretation as a form of making meaning Page 9: [7] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:06:00 AM Art-making approaches instead of use of media because it is more open-ended contemporary terminology that includes not only material use of media, but also other artistic strategies processes as well a conceptual approaches Art-making approaches is defined in the National Visual Arts Glossary is a key concept in the Create section of Visual Arts Stards. Page 9: [8] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:07:00 AM * Dropped visual elements Unnecessary anachronism from 1993 stards. Term not used elsewhere in new VA stards * In Illinois stards switch to use of interpret analysis to support development of academic language across the curriculum
* Drop conveyed because this suggests that meaning is merely carried within a work, rather than actively constructed by viewer. Page 9: [9] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:10:00 AM * Drop conveyed because this suggests that meaning is merely carried within a work, rather than actively constructed by viewer. * Drop distinguish between relevant non-relevant contextual information Not appropriate to introduce non-relevant information in a class. Likely limits sophisticated identification of contextual information from other fields school s. * Introduces 21st century skill of collaboration. This is congruent with rest of Visual Arts stards that sometimes focus on skill of collaboration in relation to other learning objectives Page 9: [10] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:16:00 AM Links interpretation generating meaning. Congruent with contemporary models of how meaning is generated. Congruent with focus of much middle school curriculum.

Page 9: [12] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:19:00 AM Continues 6th grade stard related to 21st century skill of collaboration. This is congruent with rest of Visual Arts stards that sometimes focus on skill of collaboration in relation to other learning objectives establishes respectful peer communication as a key skill developed in arts education settings.

Page 9: [15] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:22:00 AM Old stard is similar in meaning to 8th grade stard, but does not list types of evidence as developed in earlier stards in this section. This is a problem because high school teachers (or administrators) may not read back to elementary stards to get evidence list. Page 9: [16] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:23:00 AM Age appropriate. * Current stard is simple identification of types of contextual information. Low level on taxonomies of learning objectives. * Now stard is a complex task, building on Introductory HS because now student is asked to defend interpretation with evidence Page 9: [17] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:24:00 AM
* Newly written stard begins in the same way, but rather than asking students to select a single plausible analysis, newly worded stard supports higher order thinking of being able to underst value multiple plausible interpretations. Page 9: [18] Commented elizabeth 6/10/2015 5:23:00 AM Supports claims made for art education as promoting open-ended flexible thinking.
