Special Education Visual And Performing Arts

Visual and Performing Arts are essential to the education of all students. Arts promotes creativity, thinking skills, and enjoyment. Students who are able to appreciate the arts and express themselves artistically gain self confidence and so become more fully able to participate in society. Visual and Performing Arts education is of particular value to students who have special needs because it encourages and rewards that which cannot be expressed in words or numbers.

The purpose of this Visual and Performing Arts Curriculum Guide is to enable teachers and parents to assist students with moderate to severe disabilities in development of essential skills in artistic appreciation and expression
