metaphors to independently create and perform work that communicates

their own ideas, and are able to respond by analyzing and interpreting the

artistic communications of others.

Creative

Personal

Realization

Artistically literate citizens find at least one art form in which they develop

sufficient competence to continue active involvement in that art form as an

adult.

Culture,

History, and

Other

Connections

Artistically literate citizens know and understand artwork from varied

historical periods and cultures, and actively seek and appreciate diverse

forms and genres of artwork of enduring quality/significance. They also

understand relationships among the arts, and cultivate habits of searching

for and identifying patterns and relationships between the arts and other

knowledge.

Wellbeing Artistically literate citizens find joy, inspiration, peace, intellectual stimulation,

meaning, and other life-enhancing qualities through participation in all of the

arts.

Community

Engagement

Artistically literate citizens seek artistic experience and support the arts in

their local, state, national, and global communities.
