 * The goals and objectives for the Visual arts Standards in SCOS are vague and repetitive. If you click on ANY of the goals and objectives, you can make it fit any project. So I’m not going to list them all here. What follows is a sample: **

1.01 Plan and organize for creating art. 1.02 Devise and use strategies for imagining and implementing images. 1.03 Create multiple solutions in problem solving and discuss that some solutions are better than others. 1.04 Recognize and discuss that concepts and images from a variety of sources can be used to create original art. 1.05 Show how ideas develop and evolve over a period of time. 1.06 Manipulate sensory stimuli to develop perceptual awareness Standards are currently being revised at the state level and are becoming more concrete. ** The roll–out has been a fantastic thing for our art program and incorporating technology has been easy. One of the first big projects we undertook was the creation of the SGHS Museum of Fine Art. Students created their own “museum pages” using images found on the web. 4-5 of the images had to come from the museums listed on my teacher webpage. This project was for Art 1-4. Students had to write reasons for their choices, and in this way, it was a write to learn project. It aligns in the SCOS with the following: 5.01 Know that the visual arts have a history, purpose and function in all cultures. 5.02 Identify specific works of art as belonging to particular cultures, times and places. 5.03 Compare relationships of works of art to one another in terms of history, aesthetics, and cultural/ethnic groups. 5.04 Describe the existence of art movements, periods, and styles. 5.05 Describe universal themes that exist in art throughout history. 5.06 Recognize and discuss that cultures have different aesthetics and each individual is a product of his or her culture.
 * COMPETENCY GOAL 1: The learner will develop critical and creative thinking skills and perceptual awareness necessary for understanding and **** Objectives **
 * COMPETENCY GOAL 5: The learner will understand the visual arts in relation to history and cultures.** (National Standard 4)

The second project consisted of making puppet movies using the laptops and I-movies. My goal for this project was to introduce students to the creative tools on their laptops. This project took place in art 2-3.
