4. Education Why Use Media in the Classroom? Using media provides a common experience for all students. It connects them with faraway places and people they might not have the opportunity to meet in person. When using media about local, contemporary artists it engages students and connects them with their communities and inspires career ideas.

5. The Common Core calls for the use of a diverse array of texts, which includes video content. Common Core requirements in Math, English, and Language arts crossover with artists’ Studio Habits of Mind: Persistence, Observation, Reflection, etc. The Common Core asks students to practice close observation and provide evidence to support their opinions. Art is accessible, and most people can quickly relate to it or form an opinion about it. How Does the Use of Arts-Focused Media Support the Common Core?

6. Guiding Principles for the Arts in CCSS Curriculum Development Study works of art in close observation to prepare student to create art and perform. Engage in deep study of art to develop students’ own art and arts literacy. Study the social, political, and cultural contexts of art and connections with other subjects.
