A+Case+for+Art

==Evaluation of the long and short-term art-integrated curriculum in art education must include evidence of the following. Students need to demonstrate fundamental skills for attaining a lifestyle that is environmentally sustainable for an environmentally friendly future. Schools need to demonstrate they are concerned with teaching students basic communication skills. Students need to demonstrate that they have an understanding of visual communication and how it is used commercially to market products and lifestyles to teenagers, because much visual information in society today is delivered by mass media and technology, such as television, movies, computers, and video games.== ==Art-integration across the curriculum also needs to be reviewed and an assessment of the implementation process done providing recommendations for future professional activities. Reports written to the school board, the superintendent’s department, the school staffs, and the parents’ committee should include an evaluation and assessment of art lessons, art projects, students, artists, educators, and administrators. An ongoing monitoring process of how art-integration across the curriculum will include continuous feedback, appropriate recommendations considered, and concerns appropriately responded to.== ==I feel strongly that all curricula, including the art curriculum, should be online, with a web master to update and change the curriculum to reflect the current problems and events happening in the world. Adaptation is the only way to keep pace in this fast-paced world, as changes are taking place every day. Modifications must also take place to readjust curriculum. A flexible approach that is adaptable to cultural, technical, and political situations is necessary for today’s teachers. Thus, Technology is leading the way, and the students are keeping pace with the new innovations and availability of resources.==
