The meta-cognitive skills learned through instruction in thearts fosters effective work habits, creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problemsolving, communication, and collaboration, each of which transfers across content areaspreparing students for life in the 21st century.These revised Nevada Academic Content Standards for Fine Arts encompass five disciplines:Visual Arts, Music, Theater, Dance, and Media Arts, and are predicated on a belief that ArtisticLiteracy provides students with an ability to create, present, critique, and connect art to theiracademic studies, lives, and the world around them.The 2017-2018 Nevada Academic Content Standards for Fine Arts have substantive changesfrom those previously adopted to better respond to the needs of the field, including the following:1. Creating four (4) strands to better represent the idea of artistic literacy. The four strandsare: Creating, Presenting, Responding, and Connecting.2. The creation of Anchor standards under each of the strands to provide consistency acrossthe disciplines and the presentation of standards across content, disciplines, and gradelevels.3. Grade by grade level standards for each discipline, including three (3) levels at highschool to allow for greater differentiation of instruction and to support student learning.4. The inclusion of media arts standards to support the integration of artistic literacy in theareas of film, animation, gaming and computational artmaking (e.g., writing softwarecode) to supplement existing standards in the area of digital communications across thecurriculum.
