MT Visual Art Standards-at-a-Glance

The document attached below was developed by the standards writing team here in Montana a few years ago. The second page reviews the Essential Understandings in regards to Indian Education for All. The team thought a quick reference to the standards would be helpful. The full list of visual art standards by grade level for Montana can be found on the OPI website HERE and the national standards can be found HERE. The national standards rolled out in 2014 and Montana realigned their standards in 2016.
