Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:       Students will learn to link the study of the arts with the study of a variety of subjects and topics such as history, geography, language, culture, and human interaction. They gain an appreciation of the great importance of the arts as sources of enjoyment and as means of communication in cultures around the world. They also learn to understand that the arts have long served as important media for recording and communicating ideas and feelings. Students will learn that all the arts not only reflect historical and cultural values, but can also be interpreted differently depending on the experiences of the viewer and the perspective presented by the art work. Artistic “texts” (e.g., modern dance, sculptures, shadow plays, songs) carry meaning and require analysis, interpretation, and understanding of their context (for example, how and why the work is created and viewed).
