Arts Education is required for all students in New York State. A balanced art curriculum is not only about creating and performing but includes art history, critical analysis, and aesthetics and the ways these interact. Students of the Arts develop an understanding of the personal and cultural forces that shape artistic communication and how the arts in turn shape the diverse cultures of past and present society. New York State has four Learning Standards for the Arts which reflect the educational goals that are common to dance, music, theatre and the visual arts, while recognizing the distinctive aspects of each discipline.
