The Components of The Visual Arts Program

Disciplined Based Art Education DBAE
The Visual Arts Program integrates the four curricular components: aesthetic perception, creative expression, and aesthetic valuing. These four components represent different lenses to consider when responding to or creating works of art, or developing knowledge and building

understanding in the Visual Arts. The Four Lenses are identified and defined as:

Aesthetic Perception- knowing about it;
Creative Expression- knowing how;
Historical & Cultural Heritage-knowing who, what, when and where. These Aesthetic Lenses cover a wide range of knowledge, concepts, and skills- including basic art concepts and skills, factual or contextual learning about the arts in history and culture, and higher order or critical thinking skills required to solve aesthetic problems and analyze works of art. The major components of Art Education are each organized in a unit:

Art Production
Aesthetics
Art Criticism
Art History and diverse cultural approaches

Open-ended questions are used as vehicles to aid in motivation and understanding and to promote critical thinking. The student is encouraged to develop an aesthetic awareness of various art forms as well as of functional everyday art forms. Opportunities for students to include selected artworks in their portfolios, submit work for special contests, exhibits, and local public and national competitions are made available throughout the year.

The snowy egret I'm sketching is not cooperating. I can't get its kinked yet sinewy neck to look right. And its legs--there shouldn't be four of them! My bird looks like a pistachio stuck with a speared olive, walking on clothespins.
