Visual Arts Education
Visual Arts Education inspires students to perceive and shape the visual, spatial, and aesthetic characteristics of the world around them. Using a variety of ways to explore, learn, and communicate, students develop their capacity for imaginative and reflective thinking. Visual arts is a continuously evolving field that includes the traditional “fine arts” of drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture; the design fields including ceramics, and graphic design, and the technologies such as film, video, digital imaging, digital photography and other new media.

Massachusetts Arts Curriculum Frameworks
The Curriculum Framework provides a structure intended to guide the selection, development, and evaluation of arts curriculum and programming that builds students’ artistic literacy. It primarily does this through the Standards of Artistic Practice, specifically the development of artistic ideas to:
- create original work aligned to the artist’s intent,
- present or perform artistic works to others,
- respond to the structure and context of artistic works, and
- make connections about the impact of the arts on oneself, history, and culture.
