The Making Moving Images strand of the Blueprint for Teaching and Learning: The Moving Image is divided into three types of media: Film, Television, and Animation. Each strand—Making Moving Images; Literacy; Connections; Cultural Resources; and Careers and Lifelong Learning—includes benchmarks, indicators of student learning, and suggested activities
By exploring, creating, replicating, and observing music, students build their technical and expressive skills, develop their artistry and a unique personal voice in music, and experience the power of music to communicate. They understand music as a universal language and a legacy of expression in every culture.
Theater Making provides multiple avenues for active learning. Through the interpretation of dramatic literature and the creation of their own works, students engage as writers, actors, designers, directors and technicians. Students learn to use their minds, bodies, voices, emotions and sense of artistry to examine the world and its meaning.
The art-making strands indicate what students should be able to accomplish at the end of benchmark years: second, fifth, eighth, and twelfth grades. These charts provide “snapshots” of the learning process—the skills, knowledge, and appreciation that should be mastered in selected areas and how these are honed as students mature.
