+ Conclusions There are many routes to competence in the arts disciplines. Students may work in different arts at different times. Their study may take a variety of approaches and abilities may develop at different rates. Competence means the ability to use an array of knowledge and skills. Competence is an understanding of the interdependence between knowledge and skills; it also means the ability to combine the content, perspectives, and techniques associated with the various elements to achieve specific goals.

+ Conclusions Students work toward comprehensive competence from the very beginning, preparing in the lower grades for deeper and more rigorous work each succeeding year. As a result, the the arts are enriched and matured by the discipline of learning and the pride of accomplishment. Essentially, the Standards ask what students should know and be able to do by the time they have completed secondary school.

+ Conclusions As a result of developing these capabilities, students can arrive at their own knowledge, beliefs, and values for making personal and artistic decisions. In other terms, they can arrive at a broad- based, well-grounded understanding of the nature, value, and meaning of the arts as a part of their own humanity.
