Blending the visual and performing arts, this course is designed for the prospective elementary school teacher. Consisting of the objectives, scope, and content as described in the Visual and Performing Arts Framework for California Public Schools (1996), this course integrates the four components of art education through the use of aesthetic perception, creative expression, arts heritage, and aesthetic valuing with active participation in the skills of music and movement in order to understand the components and concepts of these fine and performing arts. The integration flows into other areas such as literature, religion, mathematics, science, and history.
