The fine arts standards include the disciplines of, drama/theatre, music and visual art. The three art disciplines share five overreaching content standards which represent what all students should know and be able to do as they progress through a comprehensive, sequential arts education program. Although the standards were developed specifically for Ohio, arts educators will see a relationship to the National Standards for Arts Education (1994).  The overarching standards for the fine arts are these:

Content Standards:
                Historical, Cultural and Social Contexts
                Creative Expression and Communication
                Valuing the Arts/Aesthetic Reflection
                Connections, Relationships and Applications

Success in meeting the expectations of the fine arts standards depends on students' opportunities to receive instruction on a regular basis and to engage actively in the artistic processes-responding to, creating and performing works of art.
