Objectives
•Develop a deeper understanding of the philosophy behind the Common Core Standards and how to align instruction in art and music.
•Explore ways we can develop questions that encourage higher level thinking with our students.

Guiding Principles for the Arts
• This document was written by the authors of the Common Core standards. It explains how to implement the philosophy behind the Common Core in music and art.
• Count off – Let’s each take one section to read carefully. Be prepared to share a summary of your section with the whole group.

Section 1Students need to be able to closely observe, re-
examine, and attend to details in a work of art.This is a slow, gradual process.Learners must tolerate initial confusion and
persevere.Works selected should sustain high quality
conversation and engagement.Works selected will also serve as models for
students’ own work.

Section 2
• Students should examine multiple renditions of the same work.
• They should examine the source and what different artists chose to include, emphasize, or leave out.
• They should also make comparisons across mediums.
• By analyzing the choices artists make, students become more thoughtful about their own choices.

Section 3Students gain a deeper understanding of a work of art
by studying the context in which it was developed.Students should consider not only the techniques that
artists use, but how and why they use them in specific works.
Students should carefully observe the work itself to understand it deeply before making outside connections.
Students should look for evidence in a work to support their inferences about the artist’s influences, purpose, etc.

Section 4
• Teachers should take their students beyond the classroom walls to explore the arts:
• Museums• Galleries• Websites
![Page 8: Common Core Aligned Instruction in Music and Art Presented By: Laurie Gregory](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d945503460f94a7bf58/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Section 5Curriculum should be developmentally appropriate
and increasingly demanding as students move through the grade levels.
Students should cultivate a core set of skills that build over time.
As students advance, they will:Notice more specific details in a work of artMake non-trivial inferencesBe able to cite more evidence to support their
ideasApply skills and become a more accomplished
imitator

Section 6
• Students should explore alternatives and the impact of their artistic choices.
• They should also examine an artist’s sketches or drafts to see how works transform.
• Students should learn about how artists change and develop throughout their careers.
• They should gain practice for careers in the arts by working with a diverse team to address creative solutions.

Section 7
• This type of in-depth study of art will promote lifelong engagement in the arts.
• It will also help students to be higher-level thinkers in other areas.
• Students should be able to discuss what is beautiful, distinctive, and valuable.
• They should pay attention to what is memorable, what is remarkable, and what is at stake.

Close AnalysisClose Reading
• Preview the text.• Annotate and mark up the
margins as you read.• Outline, summarize, and analyze.• Look for repetitions and patterns.• Make inferences supported with
evidence.• Contextualize.• Compare and contrast.
Close Observation of Art & Music
Observe the work of art. Take note of your observations,
questions, etc. Describe the techniques and
analyze the artist’s choices. Make inferences supported with
evidence. Contextualize. Compare and Contrast.

Example Questions
1st Story: As you think about Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”, describe some initial observations.
2nd Story: As you continue to observe “Starry Night,” discuss some of the objects that Van Gogh chose to emphasize in his painting. Explain your reasons for thinking that he intended to emphasize them.
3rd Story: As you consider Van Gogh’s subject matter and technique in “Starry Night,” what can you infer about the message he was trying to convey? Give evidence to
support your answer.

Compare and Contrast: A Higher Level Thinking Skill
• Teach students to compare and contrast two versions of the same work after they analyze each one in depth
• Venn Diagrams and other graphic organizers can be helpful
• Remember: the more subtle the differences, the higher level of thinking that is required!

Create a Task
• Create a lesson plan to teach students how to closely observe and analyze a piece of art or music.
• Follow the guidelines for analysis.• Try to use a mix of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd story
questions.• If you can, ask students to compare and
contrast two or more versions of the same work.
