There are three Power Standards for the Visual Arts for the New Haven Public School System. They are: Creating Art, Connecting Art, and Responding to Art.
Creating Art
This Power Standard is met within each lesson. Students will create art in all three lessons. They will have opportunities to develop, experiment, create, and revise their work.
Connecting Art
This Power Standard is met within each lesson. Each lesson has a component that connects the process of art analysis with the analysis of characters in literary works. Students will also be read to, and have writing components within the unit.
Responding to Art
A main component of this unit is for students to respond to art by using the steps of art criticism. This Power Standard is met within each lesson. Students will be able to develop their skill in critical response both orally and in writing.
