Appendix On Implementing District Standards[61]
State Standards
Oklahoma state standards in art offer categories for proficient, advanced, and accomplished. I will only share the accomplished category (III), as I expect this out of my students in Art 2, Advanced Art 2, and AP Art.
Production
VA.P.1: Utilize a variety of ideas and subject matter to create original works of visual art.
III.VA.P.1.1 Synthesize knowledge of social, cultural, historical, and personal life with art-making approaches to create original, meaningful works of art or design.
Students will use social, cultural, and historical knowledge, along with personal life experiences, to create a final artwork. They will also display their knowledge of historical events in their final display.
Cultural and Historical Perspectives
VA.CHP.1: Relate artistic ideas and works with societal, cultural, and historical context to deepen understanding.
III.VA.CHP.1.3 Research the context of and defend positions related to historical or contemporary movements in art and their social impact.
This standard encapsulates the purpose of this unit. Students will examine artwork from the 1960s to better understand the societal, cultural, and historical context of protests, primarily through printmaking. However, rather than only focusing on contemporary art movements and their social impact, we will also examine the social impact of political movements on art.
