§117.32. Art, Grade 6.
(a)  General requirements. When Grade 6 is part of a
     departmentalized middle school, students may select the
     following art course: Art 6.

(b)  Introduction.

     (1)  Four basic strands--perception, creative
          expression/performance, historical and cultural
          heritage, and critical evaluation--provide broad,
          unifying structures for organizing the knowledge
          and skills students are expected to acquire.
          Students rely on their perceptions of the
          environment, developed through increasing visual
          awareness and sensitivity to surroundings, memory,
          imagination, and life experiences, as a source for
          creating artworks. They express their thoughts and
          ideas creatively, while challenging their
          imagination, fostering reflective thinking, and
          developing disciplined effort and problem-solving
          skills.
     
     (2)  By analyzing artistic styles and historical
          periods students develop respect for the
          traditions and contributions of diverse cultures.
          Students respond to and analyze artworks, thus
          contributing to the development of lifelong skills
          of making informed judgments and evaluations.

        (B)  analyze and form generalizations about the
             interdependence of the art elements such as
             color, texture, form, line, space, and value
             and principles such as emphasis, pattern,
