The use of a variety of media and techniques provides an opportunity for the individual to develop, organize, and interpret knowledge for communication. The skills of analysis, problem solving, cooperative involvement, and disciplined behavior contribute to a successful school environment and prepare the individual to become a productive member of society.STANDARD Students develop creative expression through the application of knowledge, ideas, communication skills, organizational abilities, and imagination. BENCHMARKS 5–8 In grades 5–8, what students should know and be able to do includes to: TH-CE-M1 Demonstrate self-expression and various emotions individually and in groups; (1, 5) TH-CE-M2 Demonstrate role playing individually and in interpersonal situations; (1, 5) TH-CE-M3 Demonstrate physical and emotional traits appropriate to a variety of roles and characters; (2, 4) TH-CE-M4 Create improvisations and scripted scenes based on personal experience, imagination, literature, and history; (1, 2, 3) TH-CE-M5 Compare/contrast and demonstrate various performance methods and styles; (1, 2, 4) TH-CE-M6 Engage in individual and collaborative use of technical dimensions of the dramatic form such as theatrical space, scenery, set design, costuming, and make-up. (1, 4, 5) THEATRE ARTS: AESTHETIC PERCEPTIONFOCUSThe study of aesthetics, or the philosophy of the arts, cultivates the direct experience of the senses and supplies the individual with a structure for perceiving and responding to the arts. A grasp of aesthetics empowers the individual to experience beauty in many forms, to appreciate artistic expressions, and to develop insight into the creations and performances of others. By questioning concepts, weighing evidence, and examining intuitive reactions, the individual becomes increasingly discriminating in formulating preferences and conclusions about the values inherent in art. Aesthetic perception promotes cretivity, flexible thinking, and the pursuit of excellence. STANDARD Students develop aesthetic perception through the knowledge of art forms and respect for their commonalities and differences. BENCHMARKS 5–8 In grades 5–8, what students should know and be able to do includes to: TH-AP-M1 Understand and use expanded theatre arts vocabulary, including terms related to theatrical periods, environments, situations, and roles; (1, 4) TH-AP-M2 Recognize that concepts of beauty differ from culture to culture and that taste varies from person to person; (1, 4, 5) TH-AP-M3 Identify and discuss appropriate behaviors for creators, performers, and observers of theatre; (1, 2, 5) TH-AP-M4 Demonstrate awareness of various new ideas, possibilities, options, and situations pertaining to theatre arts; (1, 2, 4) TH-AP-M5 Describe the emotional and intellectual impact of theatrical works and dramatic performances; (1, 2) TH-AP-M6 Express intuitive reactions and personal responses to theatre and other dramatic works. (1, 2, 4) THEATRE ARTS: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL PERSPECTIVEFOCUSHistorical and cultural perspective is the vehicle for understanding works of art in time and place. The arts survive through times of interruption and neglect; they outlive governments, creeds, societies, and even the civilizations that spawned them. The artist is a harbinger of change, a translator of social thought, an analyst of cultures, a poetic scientist, and a recorder of history. To understand creative output in the history of the arts is to understand history itself.STANDARD Students develop historical and cultural perspective by recognizing and understanding that the arts throughout history are a record of human experience with a past, present, and future.

(3, 4) THEATRE ARTS: CRITICAL ANALYSIS FOCUS Critical analysis is the process of inquiry associated with an individual’s knowledge of the arts.
