The New Arts Standards*
So now that we have seen the new arts standards, how do they translate into workable lessons for the studio?
IB/PYP/MYP
International Baccalaureate, Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme (IB/PYP/MYP) are approaches grounded in asking meaningful questions. Many of these questions are the same as ones that artists have been asking for generations. Who are we? Why are we here? How do we effect change? By connecting IB/PYP/MYP and Arts Integration, students are able to bring their unique point of view to any complex issue.
