Quality Art Education: Goals for Schools. An Interpretation.
National Art Education Association, Reston, VA.
The National Art Education Association (NAEA) has established five specific goals in order to achieve quality art education for all students. This document describes: (1) a definition of quality art education; (2) outcomes of quality art education; and (3) reasons for the NAEA goals. Each goal is identified and interpreted, and reasons for its importance are presented. Goal 1 states that all elementary and secondary level students should complete a sequential program of art instruction that is taught by certified teachers and that integrates art production, aesthetics, criticism, and history. Goal 2 proposes that every student be required to complete one year of high school credit in fine arts, while goal 3 recommends that, for college or university admission, a student should be required to complete one year of credit in visual art. Goal 4 states that, for college or university graduation, a student be required to complete one fine arts course, and goal 5 proposes that every state and local school system appoint a supervisor or administrator to coordinate and direct a visual arts program.
